illuminated door sills

Hi. I got illuminated door sills today but came to a dead end when I took the oem sills off because the guy didnt send me the instructions. I looked around on this board and google for diy but couldn't find any for w203 sedan. The ones I did find were for other cars and useless because key steps required parts my car doesn't have.

Does anyone have a diy with illustrations? formymercedes doesn't have it for w203 sedan, it takes me to some advertising site when i click their "installation".
I started with the right rear door btw, what wire colors am I supposed to be looking for?

He answered the phone today, called him a few hours ago, he was helpful and promised to get back to me if he found a useful diy.


Thanks for the info Victor
