Rear door handle lights

Swapping over the blank rears to smart rear handles yes. Running the wires from rear door to BCM inside the car not so easy.

Any info on how and where to run the wires? Also which pins we need to tap into?

Have you drilled new holes?? to cable the handle with the BCM... There is only a connector from the door to the body. And there are no free connections.
Can you open the door and make a photo?
Here is my connector an no possibility to wire from the door to the body

I didn't drill any holes, I ran the wires through the door harness grommet, and used the nearby free rubber grommet to feed the wire into the cabin. I could of covered it with some heat shrink, and loom but didn't have any at the time, haven't had any issues with it.

Ahhhh... Ok, thats possible.
I was afraid of damage the grommet but thats a way to do it....
THX a lot.
