I have been struggling to wire my Led's and Courtsy lights together....I cant figure out what relay diagram i need to use.

First off I have LED's wiried through my accessory key turn on circuit and then are wired to a switch to which i can turn them on and off with out having the trouble of leaving them on when I turn the car off.

I just finished building my speaker door pods with a change to the courtsy light.  There is the stock courtsy light and also blue LED that I want to illuminate when the door is open and the accessory switch is on and the interior LEDS are on. a  I now want to be able to when you open the door with the interior LEDS on and have the Blue LED courtsy light turn on.  While the accessory switch is on and the manual switch for the LED's is off I want the door do illuminate with the stock light bulb.  The last thing that i couldnt figure out is how to wire it up that when you shut the key off making the accessory circuit shut down for the stock courtsey light to turn on.

Just put a toggle in paralell with the door switch and trick it in to thinking the door is open
