1. Its only going to be as hard as running your neg/pos wires to a tap in location....

-Be prepared to pull some interior panels... Strut cover you can tap into rear cargo light that turns on when hatch is opened.

-For the door panels, if you want it done correctly, i think you shoud be prepared to tap into lines from overhead dome lights, which is going to be a biatch. This is needed, though, if you want the door panels to light up when you open doors like on the 370z.

2. This question can be easily answered using search in DIY section.

I'd nail the door pin switch rather than dig in the ceiling. The door pins are easy to access in the B pillars where they electrically close to ground when the door opens. Run +12 VDC though a fuse and then to the LEDs for the sill panels and then run their ground out to the door pin.

Nice, sounds a hell of alot easier than running to the domes.
