So they're on with a switch or when you open the door?

[fordrules]

Daughter would like it both ways is that possible?

DPDT switch

[fordrules]

Please expand on the dpdt switch what does that mean?

Double pole double throw switch, a switch with 6 channels. You take the hot wire that goes to the lights in the door and tie it on to pole A. Then take the other side of the wire for your door and the new lights and tie it on so when the switch is OFF the circuit is connected.

Then when you open the door the light comes on like normal.

You then take a second hot wire that you run yourself and tie it on to pole B. Then out the other side you tie your new lights to the channel that's hot when the switch is ON

Hopefully this makes some sense.

Update. Got lights wired and in place, hot lead of fuse box on one side of switch works. Cant get dome light lead to work. This car dont have door switchs. Wont go off when door is closed

Unless there is some new technology I am completely unaware about, it does have door switches. You just have to find them because like on my truck doors, they blend in with the door latches.

So if there's no lights in the door connect it to the wire for the dome light. Works the same way.

Got the hot lead from the dome running to the dpdt switch in and + to lights lights work in both positions regarless if door is open or closed lights grounded to chassi do i have them grounded correctly?

Yeah that's fine, they're just LEDs. If they start flickering a lot, then worry about moving it lol.
