I was toying with the idea of installing some footwell lighting to light up the interior and possibly running an extra light into the cargo area. Anyone have any ideas of the best way to tap into the wiring so they come on when the doors are opened? I attached the wiring diagrams but I can't figure out which ones to tap into.

Probably best to tap into the fuse box area. Just grab a TestLight and see which one you want to tap into (whether you want the lights on when the door opens, on when headlights are on, etc).

Probably a good idea to use a relay/switch as well.
