puddle mirror lighting

so im wanting to get the newer housing side mirrors with the arrow led instead of the stock led. They also come with an led puddle light on the bottom and i was thinking the best place to run it to is the dome light because of it coming on when you unlock the car and also when you take the keys out of the ignition to get out of the car. does anyone have any info on what wires i would tap them into under there? and how easy/hard would it be to run it under the headliner.

Find the installation instructions for illuminated door sills. You will find existing wiring in the door sills that can be tapped for puddle lamps. Your car might also have unused cavities in the mirror connector you can use to make the installation schweet.
