Speaking about lights, if a light sleeper sleeps with the light on, what does a hard sleeper sleep with? The light off, of course.

I finally got my set used, But it's in ivory color trim . I will paint it black. the only challenge is converting the rear ones to the LWB sill.

This is one mod I have wanted to do for a long time but discouraged by the cost of the new ones from Japan. It's great you found a used set. eBay? How much for all four? How do you plan to convert the rear ones for the LWB sill? Looking forward to the results! Good luck!

No , the factory manual states that both front and rear tap in to the front door jamb switch . Single feed for each LH and RH.

That's great! If it's a logo swap for the rear sills, are you planning to do the same for the front too instead of painting the ivory trim black? It will be nice to see the finished result with the sills lit up!

A while back i figured it would be as easy s swapping out the middle part and I was right (thanks for confirming) is it glass or plastic covering the logo? Do you guys know how easy this is? LOL i wonder if it would be feasible to make kits haha
