How to Wire Footwell Lighting - Page 14 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ah Michael J beat me to it.

But depending on when your Camaro was built that connector may not be there. It was removed after the first several thousand rolled off the line since they decided not to go with the ABL in the dash.

But I believe the purple wire on the BCM is the wire that feeds the ABL in the doors.

If you have that connector as pictured, you only have to remove the driver's side fuse panel - just pops off. If you don't have that connector in there - look around a bit, then as described above, just find the purple wire by the steering wheel column and T-Tap into that and you're good to go!

my dark gray wire coming from the gray plastic part(next to pink, i see there's another gray plastic section on the opposite end) doesn't work and has no power.

the lighter gray(and thicker, only thick gray wire i can see) comes from the pink section, it looks like you tapped into the thicker gray wire, but it comes from your gray section and its in my pink section.

im confused, guess ill try tapping into the thick gray in the pink section and see if it does anything.

Just want to thank TonyNO for the write up. Did this without a hitch and only took about an hour from start to finish. Picked up the quick disconnect t-tap, inline fuse holder and 3A fuse from Radio shack for like $6. Bought the lights from Oznium. Complete project was less than $40. That is outstanding!!!!!

Thanks again!!

Can anybody tell me what wire I have to tap into so that my footwell lights will come one with my headlights? Finally decided this is what I want to do

For non-RS, it looks like X4, position 1 and 2 (dark and light blue wires), but it looks like that is a PWM signal. For RS, it's X5. Low beam is 13 and hi is 18.

So I guess I would use the low beam one? Which color is that? sorry for asking so many questions btw

TonyNo · 08-13-2010, 10:13 AM

It says the pink/white wire.
