Default led accent placement?

i searched! just wondering where you guys think are the best locations for some interior accent led's? i was thinking about doing the door handles. but they almost look too shallow like you might see the bulbs and it would be distracting. floorboards yeah i like that and will do that one but what about the sc door handles? anyone done it? like it hate it? thoughts. already going for blue cluster and other dash bulb replacement this is just to liven it up a bit.

i meant other then the stock locations thanks for the link anyway king. looks good. but what i was wondering is about accent lighting led's that stay on in your interior while your headlights are on. has no one put led's in the inner door handles? and where do you tie into the headlights/dashlights to hook up the led's? i would rather not run a switch. i am going try and install them somewhere today. just have not decided where. ahh just thought of it i could wire them into the plug harness for the shifter lights with some tap connectors.

Only place I have mine are in my floorboards... Anywhere else would be really distracting to myself.

Here they are in my car in blue. I changed them to white a while ago much cleaner. They come on with my headlights.

yeah thats kinda what i thought. looks good in the floor boards though. thats really bright!! hope the ones i got were not to bright. where did you tap into the lighting system if i may ask? i also thought about putting 2 of them in my stereo bezel pocket. i will just have to position them to where they are pretty dim. it would work for the door handles to get some really dim 3mm led's just so they are not distracting i think. thanks for the pic..
