I believe I found the circuitry behind the light housing:

This should give a good understanding on what is required to get this done. It's a simple concept to do but you don't want to take any shortcuts or cheesedick anything when it comes to power.
Yeah, it'll take a bit of power research to make sure that's all right. I'm having trouble finding the damn wiring harness though. I have the whole assembly with bulbs already in, but I can't find the wiring online. I came close a few times but pretty much led me to dead ends—kind of just gave up now haha.

Might swing by a dealership and just ask the parts department.
