Are you sure those are the colors? The closest color pair I can find would be for a car with a ZVM: a .5 mm^2 brown/red wire, a mostly brown wire with a red stripe. The order you give the colors is critical. Red/brown would be a mostly red wire with a brown stripe which is something completely different!

1. it works if do I plug the wire that goes the aftermarket alarm? ( to avoid take the wire along to the dome light)?
That might work if the alarm goes off anytime the interior lights go on.

2. there is no way to do the step 1. so i need to take the cable to the dome light, but if do that i need plug it in just in the switch base or in any part of the cable?
If you are happy to have the footwell lights come on when you open a door, you should be able to tap into a wire running up the a-pillar from the glovebox area to the roof – once you have the right color.

Quote:
i don't want to go to the glovebox, (I'm kinda scissors hand lol)
Sure, I can understand that, but how are you going to mount the passenger side footwell light? I had to remove the glovebox in order to remove the horizontal panel underneath and cut a hole in it.

ok dude, you are rigth about the wire color I didin't explain it clear.
so my situation now is: I'm in the dome light (dissambled) so do I need to to know ¿do I have to plug the brown red wire near to the dome ligth plate or IN the dome plate? my question goes because I don't know if i will have the "switch control" to the footwell lights if do I plug the wire before the dome plate. thnks so mucho for your atentio
