I saw LEDs in the door handles about 2 maybe 3 years ago at a car show. Hadn't seen them since. I had thought about doing it to my old car but thought it was cheesy. It's not really all that complicated. Shouldn't be too hard for anyone to do. The hardest part will be removing the handle and finding a location where to put the LED.

As you said, if we can find a nice place to drill, it'll a simple cheap DIY job.

Advanced Auto Parts sells the led door handle lights. Its a thin strip , about 2 1/2 " ? long that sticks under the handle, then you have to run wires to where ever. They have a few colors too. They are setting on a clearance shelf for $9 bucks a set at my local store. I think I might pick up a set of white ones just for a little project.
