Should be fairly easy - remove the inner door panels, get at the outer door handle and I think it's only a couple of bolts and the clip that holds the rod (for actually pulling the latch). Then just drill a small hole for the LED, make it slightly larger than 5mm, so you can get a grommet in (tip: buy a grommet and measure it first). It'll keep the hole a tight fiot. Then just wire the LED to a switch and run it (use a resistor!) to switched 12v and a ground, or maybe even get vreative and use a relay so it activates when a desired component gets powered on. If you can, running the wire through the rubber hose dealie that covers the speaker and power lock wires will keep it clean and seamless. I was thinking of running one of my extra LED's to my alarm so when the alarm is disarmed, the LED comes on and stays on, illuminating the door handle till the car is started. Too much work, I'm too tired. Maybe next season.
