I'm sure you're gonna start trying to wire it to the overhead lights and realize that its not gonna happen, especially when you start trying to wire four doors seperately (or two, whatever you have). The wiring part gets to be a pain in the ass if you don't keep to just the door (I thought about wiring it to the Honda ambient light switch, but it would've been way too much work with small benefits only)
