i was wondering what kind of load the BCM would take before frying? i ask because i have front courtesy lights and puddle lamps added to the interior light circuit, and i want to add rear courtesy lamps too. im using LED bulbs in the map light and cargo light also courtesy and puddles are LED so im assuming im drawing less power now than the stock bulbs were with nothing else on the circuit.... but i wanna be sure.. anyone in the know got some input?

There are two puddle light wires, one taped up behind on steering column and one behind in rail on glovebox. I am not sure if you used these or tapped into map wire.
Each stock OEM puddle bulb was about 7.5 watts.
Consider that safe draw per wire.
Use 3 or 6 LED puddle lamps which draw very little, but add up per light spec, and you will be fine front and rear off one wire.
