My first thought would be to disconnect the wire to the door switch and connect one of the wires from the new lights to it and then connect the other back on the switch thereby bringing it in to the circuit.

If they are LED lights and they do not work switch the new wires

The door switches create an earth when the doors are opened, attached is guide from Toyota for fitting footwell lighting, the kit is plug n play but shows you which plug in the junction box is for the interior lights, from there you should be able to identify the wires you need: http://www.toyota-tech.eu/aimuploads/%7B534A767A-E26C-7D2B-2CEC-996D00D6E26C%7D/Rav4_Interior_Lighting_RHD_08527_42800_AIM_001_435_0.pdf
