I didn't realize you had those on your car... nice job

So, drill a hole, run the wire behind the paneling and then... out through the boot to the ignition...?

And for the back doors, run the wire through the boot to... where?

i know they arn't l.e.d.'s but i installed 12v pilot lights in my door handle http://www.action-electronics.com/linrose.htm it was real simple and i wired em into my turn signals/parking lights so they act as my side markers/turn signals. they were super easy to install all i needed to do was get a 1/2'' drill bit and drill a hole thru the door handle then pop em in and wire them up. i also painted the inside of the door handle with reflective spraypaint to brighten it up.

uh i didn't actually do the door leds but i have those red marker lights inside the door. Same wiring applies though. You need to wire directly to dome light for them to work like they should.

Worked for several days to get these up and running, busted more than a few fuses....

But I got the under-doorhand-LED kit done

(Pardon the rain)

wth. i didn't know you had those...guess i should've asked at the meet

Just put them on a couple of weeks ago

if you hook them up directly to the dome lights wouldnt they turn if you turn your dome light on? If so in some states you might run into trouble with the po po if you decide to turn your dome lights on while driving and just happen to pass a cop.

That ^ is the reason I didn't do it. That and the fact that they aren't on for that long, unless you have your dome light on. I wanted them connected to a switch

Looks like a waste of time and money, IMHO.

^It cost a whole $25, plus a few hours. You can argue that any modding to your car is a waste of time and money, but it's a matter of personal style and preference. It may not be your cup of tea, but it's mine, so don't knock it...

I respect your opinion. That's all we have here, just opinions. Some folks come lookin' for affirmation on junk they don't need.

Every single bulb on both of my vehicles has been converted to LED, and I've added some for cosmetic enhancement.

I use transistors to wire LEDs to come on with other accessories, or when other switches are activated.
