LED Ambient Lighting

Whats up guys? I am really wanting to install some LED ambient lighting into the foot wells of my 05 Lariat crew cab but I want to do it right the first time. I have looked through the numerous posts about LED lighting on the page and cannot for the life of me find where I can connect these LED's to sync with the dome light. I don't really want them on while I am driving, I would just love to have it light up when the dome light comes on (Unlocking, door opening, etc). Anyone have any insight onto where a good connection to the dome light might be?

I believe I have the right wire however, is there a way to get the f150LEDS.com wiring page without buying the product? I am having issues in where to ground my lights.

I got that one haha I just don't know what color it is. My dome light wire is black with a light blue lead, very obvious once its found but the ground is something I cannot locate and haven't been able to locate within this forum.

The power is a black w/blue tracer chord, I found that on another forum and it was confirmed by another user. I am not sure if it has a ground so I may ground it to the frame inside the door somewhere if I cant find the wire.

Daggom I thought I had it. We are talking about the power wire to the dome light in the driver side door sil correct? I am new to this and, other than swapping out map/dome bulbs, this will be my first LED install so I want to ensure it goes smoothly.
