Wiring it is not hard, it's mounting the LED so it's concealed and will not get in the way of the handle.

The tails, the owner from Japan custom made all the LED's for it. He's a LED fanatic.

Here is how the LED is placed in the handles.

Mother F'er that's cool. I wonder how hard it is to get the door handles off. Anyone doing this project should take many pics.
