    Map light issue resolved. There are 4 wires in the map light pigtail: 2 colors w/ stripes, 2 black. I assumed the 2 blacks were grounds, wrong. 1 black is from the dimmer that allows you to turn them on as such. the other is the ground. The 2 colors are hots that are only engaged when you click the lights on or off. Hope this helps others when they go to wire. You could also tap the hot into that black that is from the dimmer since it is a constant hot source. Thanks again for all the cudos. I highly recommend this mod to anyone on the fence. took me 4 hrs, and that was goin half ass.
