thanks! u could do the rear doors as well, but you would have to hook them up to the dome light or something cause theres no place to tap into nearby. i didnt do the rear doors because hardly anyone sits in the back of my car haha. the front seats are as back as they can go

never seen that done before, and it looks great! i like how the strip goes almost halfway to the top of the door. very bright, and definitely a great look at night.

After reading your title I would have suggested replacing the door lights with some clear lens from the ES and some LED bulbs but this is a much better idea. It looks really bright from the pics. DIY would be nice. Great work.
