while you are working on the doors you could put the led strips the same company sells behind the door handles. Just pull the film off the back of the led strips and stick behind the handle. Solder some longer wire and then feed the wire through the existing hole in the handle hinges. Pull down the black rubber insulator on the inside of the door and feel back up there for the wires. Run those wires along with your reflector lights to your footwell lights to get your power there. The door handle leds come in many colors, I have blue with my EB Z. I'll look at the puddle lights too but I wanted to illuminate the door handles since your SO would scratch your car with her nails feeling for the handle.

I like it, I wired em into the footwell circuit so they come on when I unlock the car;

Looks good what size LED strip did you use. I used 6 inch LED strips in the Reflectors.

Oznium.com "Tiny LED modules" Use the straight 6 light module and it fits perfectly behind the door handle.

Looks very cool and a nice mod to do in some down time

Where did you source the 12 Volt power from to light the LED's? Did you tap into the door harness for when the dash lights are illuminated?

Thanks,Matt

Very, very

Matt they will be tied into the footwell lights. When the door is open or the interior lights are turned on they will light up

When you hit the lock or unlock on your fob too

You got that right I just did the Vararam last night and did a thermostat swap today. Can't wait to go back on duty tomorrow so I can get some rest This 4 day was a busy one. I start jury duty on the 19th for a few weeks so I had to get some of these mods out of the way.
Stay safe brother

I got it up until having to get a 12V source.

Do I have to remove the inside door panel? And then run the wire across the door and then through that accordion like plastic/rubber hose?

I was feeling on the inside of the footwell area and don't feel the wires come through from the there.

Can you draw something up really quick to see the wiring diagram.

On a level of wiring and electrical from 1-5, i'm like a 1.5, so talk to me brother.

Thanks!

tstar

1.5 huh? The wires run through the accordian and if you remove the panel that's holding the stock footwell light assembly it'll ALL make sense to you!

I THINK the wires for the footwell light are Orange and Black...

ha, lol. cool thanks. I'm more of the plug and play kinda installer. But I'm not about to pay like 10x more for the work. I can just log on here and ask! Thanks man

Correct.

make sure to properly secure those wires inside the door to prevent them from getting messed up when the window moves. Zip ties or duct tape works well here.

Wise words!!!! I always overlook the obvious, character flaw I suppose.
