where should the hot wire be connected so my new led footwell lights will fade off like the rest of the interior lights. I only want them on with interior lights

Could be wrong but I thought LEDs weren't dimmable?

I believe the OP is just referring to turning on and off with the map and dome lights maybe? I don't think it would be possible to wire it to the dimmer switch that controls your speedo brightness......

I did that on my 2011. There is a wire you tap on the headlight switch assembly. They do dim, though I think I need to add a resistor to it to step it down a bit more.

Here is my thread with the info. I posted wire diagrams and pictures.

or search for under dash LED

one more thing. They come on with the headlights this way and time with the dash lights.

update

yes I only want the lights on when the interior (map and dome) lights come on. led lights will dim. while back when I had a small get around car and hooked some up in it however this truck is a completely different beast.

You want to tap your interior LEDs to your dome light wire. Then they will illuminate with your dome and maps... when you open a door, when you unlock and when you rotate the dash dimmer switch all the way to the right.

:smileup:So there is a Yellow/white wire coming off the counsel according to this drawing, that goes off to courtesy lights.

I know there is a link on here somewhere for the diagrams from Dodge, but here it is off my book.

Yes, in 4th gens (up to 2012.. as I believe it may have changed in later MYs).. the dome light wire is white w/yellow stripe. It is pin #13 in the access panel on the driver side. Anything tapped into that will act with the dome and maps.
