I tapped mine into my dome light, only two wires, no errors possible. Also, take a current tester to see if where you are tapping into has power.

so you have two wires at the dome light? I think he could only find one. BTW, did your light only have white and black wires?

my dome light only had 2 wires, as did the neons I hooked to it. One of the mounting screws was the ground on the dome light too. And I JUST figured out that my headlight switch turns to adjust my panel lights and I can even turn the dome light on with it, and for the last 4-5 months I've been using a wooden bat to keep my door open. Now I don't really have a good excuse for carrying a lousiville slugger around anymore.

Alright I got it finished. I ended up tapping into the wires down by the kick panel on the drivers side. It was brown and pink/blue (hot). I really appreciate all your help. Here is a picture of where I put the light and cig. lighter.
