Need help to wire this stuff[image inside]



My friend bought a pack of this stuff for Christmas from Hong Kong. It comes with a EL light on it. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] I am just wondering how to wire it in order to make the light on when the door is open. I think it is not a good idea to attach it to the doom light since the wire will be too long. But I don't know how to attach it to the door sensor, do you guy know how to do it? Or i need to do something in the fuse box? Which wire??

Thanks!

I try it before and I can see the wire. The problem is I am not really good at electronic and electric stuff. Can you tell me what will go through the wire there when the door is open and close? Is it a positive 12v when the door is open or a (-)? I just want to get the signal to run a relay to control the on and off of the light.


Thanks!

The current going to the switch will be positive (+).

EDIT: Is that a right hand drive?

I wasnt sure if that was on the right hand side, or if the image was inverted or something, but then if it was you wouldnt be able to read "Civic" would you ........
