Rep Power: 787 haha you should see the idiot bike riders around campus. sometimes i think they close their eyes at night. thats why i got these cause i've had one too many close calls parking on the street. not with cars but with bikes.

Rep Power: 787 yup it works exactly like the dome light. i had to run it through the door up the side pillar and through the roof liner and tap the wires directly into the dome light wire (middle dome light for the EX). the dome light assembly comes out by prying off the plastic piece and then taking off the screws to gain access to the wiring.

Rep Power: 787 the only small thing is you can see light shining out from the side of the door panel. its not too bad and prolly can be solved by puttin a box behind the light to block it.

Rep Power: 787 ha i actually got lazy and ran it outside of the door and then through the rubber. so now i have wire sticking out but i put loom over it and doesn't look too bad. i just couldn't get it to stick in that boot thing.
