Couple questions - I'm wondering if anyone knows how to tie into the courtesy light wiring on a new Tahoe PPV. For example - If I added a puddle light that activated when I unlock the vehicle with the key fob or opened the door and the interior light comes on then goes off after a little time.

Also, regarding the back hatch - Is it easier to add a pin switch/rocker switch to activate lights when opening the back hatch or tie into factory pin. Also anyone know how to tie into factory pin wiring?

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I used a separate pin switch from auto parts store to activate hatch warning and down light illumination. Also used Whelen puddle lights and had the same issue. I ended up switching them on a Cencom switch.
