I'm assuming that the power came from the fuse box?

nope they are wired differently i wired them into the fuse box you need to get an extra extension wire cause the wires on the lights are really short

Let me know how that goes. I had that wired up in my car, and it seemed the ground connection for that was not a solid connection:


I will be working on it again. I am getting a third seat heater switch to use for my interior lighting as well.
I like the OEM button, and it is a 3 position button. One side is constant on, other side is door sensor, middle position is no connectivity.

Seat Heater button. In the '03 6MT coupes (not 03.5) there is 3 switches in the center armrest console.
It is the only model of G coupe, and I think sedan as well, with 3 switch holders in the armrest console.

Actually it's the dome light in the BCM module. They will turn on when you turn off the car, and turn off when you lock/arm the alarm from the key fob.
