You need a wiring harness schematic for your specific vehicle - they are all different. Look for the wire that went to the OEM radio and turned on the lights for it - use that wire.

 

You migh try finding the wiring colors over at the12volt.com

i spoke with PAC last nite they said all i need to do is connect the Orange wire on there PAC os2-gm32 harness i used to the ilumination wire on the pioneer harness and it should work automatically like that

now i feel real dumb like a dumb ass cause i could have sworn i read somewhere that i needed to run it directly to the light switch itself lol
