Default LED side skirt courtesy light

Alright 3is fam, I'm trying to get one of the shops to custom make a side skirt led that will turn on like the puddle lights under the mirrors. They want atleast 35 people minimum to develop a simple plug & play kit. It will retail roughly $250. Comment down below if anyone is interested. And also, do you guys prefer just one single strip of led or 4 circles? Pic down below just as a demo of what it can look like. Tag the owner if you know them, just happened to find on instagram. Thanks fam.

Yeah I know what you mean. That's why I'm asking the community. Trying to see what people like best. I personally dig the one in the picture.

i doubt there's any plug and play applications for the car. the aftermarket game isn't that strong. i think you're going to have to do some modding of the universal stuff to make it work

Don't see why it would be hard. You can just run a led strip on the under side of the side skirt and run the two wires into the wheel well, then into the door's to connect to the puddle light wiring. I'm assuming the puddle light has 12V to it. If not, a simple NO relay with 12V from the battery would take care of it easily.
