    Courtesy Lights (Rock Lights) Auto-On When Doors Open / Doors Unlock

    Update: I did the install this weekend. The pre-planning worked out well as the installation was a success. I have courtesy lights under the doors and they can be turned on with the other 8 lights. The Lux lights are bright and the magnets make placing them on the Jeep real easy. I did...

    Courtesy Lights (Rock Lights) Auto-On When Doors Open / Doors Unlock

    Based on the feedback I received, I modified the design to allow the four Courtesy Lights to operate independently or in conjunction with the eight Rock Lights. This way the four Courtesy Lights operate automatically and they will also turn on manually with the other eight Rock Lights...

    Voswitch - JK100, Shutting Off

    I did receive a response from Voswitch. They recommended moving the fuse tap to M7 or M9. I moved it from M6 to M7 and tested it all weekend with no issues. The thread title can be changed to reflect the issue is resolved. Thank you.

    Voswitch - JK100, Shutting Off

    So I ran a test - I drove around until the switch panel turned off. I then tested the cig lighter. The test failed. The cig lighter did not get hot. For some reason, the fuse tap in M6 is shutting down. The fuse is not popped. I took off the fuse cover and the fuse tap is not hot. Not...

    Voswitch - JK100, Shutting Off

    I used the recommended fuse slot, M6 (Cig lighter). I will test to see if the cig lighter stops working also when the Voswitch display panel goes off. Thanks.

    Voswitch - JK100, Shutting Off

    Purchased and installed a new Voswitch JK100 (8 Switch) two weeks ago. The device is wired with the provided fuse tap for key on/off. The issue I am experiencing is the switch panel turns off after approximately 15 minutes after the key is turned on. All display lights on the panel go dark...

    Courtesy Lights (Rock Lights) Auto-On When Doors Open / Doors Unlock

    Thanks for the recommendation. The main goal is to get the lights to turn on when the doors are unlocked. Turning on when the doors are open would be a secondary priority. Hopefully, I can find a trigger in the fuse box. Thanks.

    Courtesy Lights (Rock Lights) Auto-On When Doors Open / Doors Unlock

    The wiring diagram is going to be very helpful. Thanks. I'll review it and see if I can identify a fuse to tap into. Thanks.

    Courtesy Lights (Rock Lights) Auto-On When Doors Open / Doors Unlock

    I'm going to be using a Voswitch also. So the lights will act as courtesy lights when the doors are unlocked/opened, but I'll also be able to switch them on via the Voswitch. I've attached the design I've drafted. Thanks.

    Courtesy Lights (Rock Lights) Auto-On When Doors Open / Doors Unlock

    Seriously, your post was the first I found after buying my Jeep and realizing the interior lighting was horrible. The footwell lighting was my first mod. As for adding a switch on the door, that would work for turning the lights on when the door is opened, but I really want them to come on...

    Courtesy Lights (Rock Lights) Auto-On When Doors Open / Doors Unlock

    Thanks for the reply. I too have installed the footwell lights and I used the information in your post to accomplish this. Thank you. However, for what I'm trying to do with the courtesy lights, if I used the same wire, the courtesy lights would come on when I turn on the interior dome...

    Courtesy Lights (Rock Lights) Auto-On When Doors Open / Doors Unlock

    I will be installing Lux rock lights and I'd like them to auto-on when the doors are unlocked or the doors are opened. I do not want them to come on when the dome light is turned on. Does anyone know which fuse/wire I can tap into to accomplish this setup? This will be connected to a relay...

    How does the Jeep know to turn the dome light on?

    I got the footwell lights installed - finally. I ended up tapping in to the dome wires over the back seats and ran wire under the carpet to all areas where I wanted LEDs. I even added one to the glovebox.

    How does the Jeep know to turn the dome light on?

    I’ve attached a picture to this post. I am connecting the LED wire leads to the yellow/white wire and grounding the LED strip to the local ground post on the outside fender wall (just to the right of the bundle). You can see my nick marks on the wire. Thanks for the help.

    How does the Jeep know to turn the dome light on?

    The wire bundle in my 2008 JKU Rubicon has two yellow/white wires and I have tried both without success (passenger side). Contemplating next steps. Maybe try the driver's side bundle? Thanks.

    How does the Jeep know to turn the dome light on?

    I think the question is: What wire in the door harness controls power to the dome light? The yellow wire, the yellow-white wire, the orange wire, etc.? Because once we know the color, we can tap into it and run wire for footwell lights. So, anyone know the right color wire? Thanks.

    How does the Jeep know to turn the dome light on?

    How did the install go? I have a 2008 which I plan to add footwell lighting to. Which wire did you use from the door harness to tap in to the dome feed? Thanks.
