Tom,
Sent you a pm. Love the look, still debating on whether to do this myself or avoid the hassle and get a set of yours. Can I ask which LED strips are you using? One of the thin 12" ones from Oznium.com and then cutting it down? I've already got the door handle LED's and the underneath door panel courtesy LED's wired to the footwells, so figure can just splice into one of those inside the door so should be an easy install.

That would be a very easy install if you've already tapped into the footwell lights for the courtesy strips.Its up to you, send me yours or I have a kit ready to send out!

Photo/Description of the Footwell Wire Tap
Nascar57,
There is one last picture missing from the install pics above though. The very last one should show the footwell light and point out to solder/splice into the orange to red and black to black. Simple to figure out but for someone not in there before it completes the "picture"

[QUOTE=97c5vette;1566214411]I got my set from Tom but don't know where to tap into the footwell wire. Can someone please post a photo or send me a PM so I can complete this install?
Hey Bruce. I'll get a picture taken this weekend and post it where it needs to be. YOu can always pm me if you have trouble. I"ll work on instructions for the kit.Been working 12 hr days so havent been able to get to it! I'm also working on a kit to add a courtesy light strip under the door in conjunction with the led door reflectors.Again, sorry about the missing picture.

led courtesy lights.
Absolutely!!What color do you want ? I only have red or blue at this time. Since the wires have to pass through the small square rubber plug on the bottom of the door I cant really put a connector on the courtesy lights.What are you comfortable with?? Soldering them to the door reflector light wires or do you want a connector splitting off the reflectors so you can use butt connectors to finish the wiring?? Let me know. Cost?? I'm pricing the courtesy lights at $30 when ordered with the door reflectors. Hope that works for you!!Thanks Fred!!
You should be needing a new alternator soon!

courtesy lights
This is a simple and quick way to add courtesy light strips to the underside of the doors.I wired mine into the led door reflectors so they come on with the footwell lights.Pass the wires through the rubber plug and wire em up!
Hey Fred;Once you get the white courtesy strips installed I'de like to see the pictures!! I havent seen the whites in action Yet.

Door Reflectors

I Took Pics But Unable To Load To Forum. The Installation Went Well. The Installer Did It While Upgrading My Audio System. Installed A Kenwood 812o With Dd From Razor2430. Great Set Up. I Will Try Again To Upload The Pics.
Thanks For Going The Extra Mile It Was Greatly Appreciated!!!!
