So... I decided to wire the front map lights to turn on with the door opening, and fade out as well. Of course I just HAD to dive in without checking diagrams or reading through the great threads here (the consolidated lighting thread).
I ended up burning the circuit...
I am posting this quick summary because when I was doing research on this forum as well as r/subaruforester, I did not see anyone who did this process the correct/proper way. Conversion of halogen headlights to LED/HID headlights is NOT simply switching the halogen bulb with a LED or HID bulb...
