Wattup, y'all.

I noticed this morning that, when I turn off the engine of my FA5 Si, the lights in the power window buttons and lock button stay on until I pull the door opener handle and then they shut off.

I absolutely love these ambient handle lights! But, I don't like the idea that they stay on 24/7, so does anyone know how we could tap into the section of wire that controls these button lights?

Also, I noticed in some wiring diagrams that the switch is placed on the ground leg of the circuit. Is this correct, or should the switch be on the hot leg?

Thanks for answering and remember, the only dumb question is the one you didn't ask!
