Do you mean the "spot LED" under the side skirts?

This was in General Classified section but the item is sold.

I know WALD has a similar set which has blue LED.

i was wondering. how does the light operate? a switch to go on and off? when puddle lights come on as you pass the car, the underglow ones will turn on also? when the doors open? when the car low beams are on? when the car is on?

Just trying to find out how the lights work.

You pick. It's whatever you wire them into. If you wire them into the DRLs, then they work whenver the DRL's are on, if you wire them into the door light, then it works when the doorlight is on, ect...

I have them hooked up to a toggle switch.

I got mine from trendyautosalon.com as well. I wired mine to the dome light wires. They come on when I walk up to the car, same as mirror puddle lights. They will also come on if I use the remote to open the door. Upon exiting the car, they will turn on and then go off the same as the dome. Looks very kewl!

I hooked them up to a switch so i can turn them on or off whenever i choose to.
I don't think it would cost much for that idea you're talking about. I just chose to do it this way so at night I can drive with them on but switch them off when I spy a cop lol

its not hard. i have mine hooked into the Interior light circuit so they come on when i unlock the car or open any of the doors, then dim off with the lights when i shut the door or lock the car. I then have them on their own On/Off switch so i can manually turn them on independantly at any time. They just hook them up with a relay (usually buy this additionally) and so the lights switch between being a parallel part of the Interior circuit, or by themself drawing their own power from a permanent 12V source.
