   instead of door pins you mean? just wire them into the dash lights or cig lighter. run the wire through and into the doors. take door cards off and fix LEDs into place after taking out pins! simple as mate!
   
   hope this helps!

   if you run them like that they'll be on constant, either wire them up to an alarm or your ignition so when ignition off light on and vice versa

   put them into your dash lights. the power that lights up the heater controls. this way the LEDs are only on when you have sidelights or headlights on! jobs a good one! :thumbup:

   i think the guy means to flash when he locks his car you could wire these up to your imobilser if you have 1 so when your imobilser comes on they flash
   
   or wire them to a switch so you can turn on/off when you please

   id recomend wiring them up to a switch
   
   mines wired upto the imobiliser and is very annoying when parked up at night when your sat in the car

    dont think it will work with your wiper switch as they will only come on with the ignition unless u only want them on when your ignition is on
    
    wire them up to a switch then to the battery or permenant live

    my bad then.
    
    but thinking about it properly now i think it would be best to just wire it to a constant feed and have a switch as said. direct to the battery if possible as this way you can have them on without the ignition too.
