My Newest Mod...
 
..my wife saw these on a vehicle awhile back and wanted them on the GX. Easy to install cost only $40 for a set. I have some more adjusting to do but I must say they look nice. She really loves them. If she is happy I am happy. Now to change the lights in the runners to match. www.JleviStreetwerks.com have them.

That's awesome Nate and thanks for the link. I might order a set. Have you thought about changing out the bulbs in the side steps to match the white leds instead of that amber color :D ?

Maybe in another week, I'm going to post up on my illuminated door sills and will put a diy also :thumbup:

Looks great. Can you expalin instructions on the installation. Do they have to be screwed under the footsteps. Where did you access the wiring from :confused: the board. I've not looked too closely to the board. How much time is needed to install one of these.

Thanks in advance

They were quite easy to install. The string have 10 diodes that are stuck to a bent adjustable metal lip. Which it self have self adhesive tape. Now underneath the running boards there is a wire for the step lights which I tapped into. Heres the tricky part, you have to situate lights wiring underneath the vehicle as not to bind or hang up on anything underneath the vehicle. I used wire ties and some sticky putty to keep it from hanging. Not to professional but no one can see it either. Now I am currently looking for bluish lights to replace the factory lights to match them. I bought 2 sets was going to intall them on my GS but decided against it. If I get a chance I will try to get some pirctures of the install.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Sorry for the delay in posting intructions. My wife have been driving the truck more and more so I don't get to see it in the garage much. She about abandon the honda civic now she is 8 months into her pregnancy. Anyway here's a few pics on how they are installed. The kit contains 1 long about 10ft wire with 2 groups of 5 lights. There are 2 ways to install 1 is tap into the running board light connector on one side of the vehicle or cut them into 2 and wire each side accordlingly. Any questions drop me a line. I still have to update the color of the OE running board lights and clean them too. When I get sometime I want get back under the truck and do a cleaner install. Also stay tuned for my newest mod.
