door panel reflector mod
Anybody done or seen a cool mod to the door panel reflector. I'm calling mine a reflector cause I do not see a light socket behind the lense. Has mine been altered?

Forum vendor JW Motoring offers an LED door panel modifcation. Basically, it turns the reflector into an LED illuminated light. You can also install LED puddle lights which illuminate underneath the door towards the ground. Pretty cool stuff.

I did it and it is awesome. Their customer service is the best in the industry also. The follow up is impeccable. Get the puddle lights also.
It's an inexpensive add on with a 10 minute additional installation at the time of doing the lights and WELL worth it. Be careful pulling the reflectors out though whereas not to break the tabs on the top. Carefully pry them out from the bottom but don't force them.

We do offer this mod. We just need your reflectors sent to us. The puddle strip option is also very nice. See more here and contact me direct with any questions.

Of course they are fine the way they are. Unless you want not to be like every other stock vette out there. Nothing wrong with improving what chevy did. Mine draws allot of attention and questions especially at night. Here is a picture of my brothers that I did for him. Only red works with the reflectors but the puddle lights can be any color.
Some of mine too.

Looks really good, thanks for all the inputs. Started thinking when reading those interior led mods. Now I thinking of doing all red - puddle strips, reflector mod and rest of the interior with the led conversion, under hood and trunk.
