Default LED door mod

Seen this on youtube. Thought it was pretty cool.

Anyone try this yet ? You guys think this is a tacky mod ?

Probley going to try this mod. Doesn't seem hard. All you have to do is tap it into your courtesy lights.

With our door handle it's going to look way better since the light is going to be pointing down. Getting the wires up to the door handle is goig to be tricky. Keep us posted.

It's hard when you have chrome handles.... That is metal not plastic anymore.

Chrome handles are still plastic. Just chrome plated.
