I admit i am getting an unexpected result. I was installing the Opt7 aura pro lights. If i put the Neg (ground) to bare metal screw - and then positive into pin 4 or pin 6 - the ambient lights come on, but also do not appear to turn off with the car off.Just installed aftermarket ambient light in mine tonight. If you want to have the lights on with the headlights, you can't use Pin number 5, that is a switched ground. It loses ground when you close the door. You'll have to connect to body ground.
Use pin 6 for power.
I have not tested them for extended time as i was messing with this on my lunch break. But - i dont want the lights to stay on all the time and drain the battery while the car is off and parked.
my goal was to have the lights turn on when i unlock the car or open the door. And have them stay on while i am driving. And then off when i turn off the car/lock it. Any thoughts?
