I did this two years ago when I did my white and blue LED change out. Very Easy...I did it on the front of the cup holder to match the one inside the center console.

^ You can do that like how LED guy does it. Just runt he wire under to cig lighter or even better footwell so they dim and get bright when you move it from Drive to park :O



and you can do outside the door too. Tap to mirror lamp to go off with key fob

Do you guys think the cup holder LED would be better if you have the LED upward firing instead of from the side??

JoshIS I am gonna do that when I am putting the door cup led in and tap into the footwell so the light will dim, I don't know about the handle one thou. I hate to take the handle out and stuff haha.

Ecr527, it would work too but I leave the cup holder lid open all the time and I don't want to blind myself at night that's why I put it on the side that I cant see. But you most def can do it from bottom.

SuxeLS looks great!!! I was thinking going blue since my footwell is blue too but I am gonna switch mine back to white with white light up door sill.

Link should be on the first page (fixed), or you can go to ur local auto store they should sell this too, I saw them in advanced auto parts.
