Well since I already have lights run to the door I just ran the wires to the handles, took off the cap that is over the screw that lets you take the handle off. Then I just got a rectangular LED from Radioshack and bent the leads so it stayed in place. The worst part is running the first set of power cables over there, then you can just splice into that over and over.

Here's a picture of the lights in the doors, sorry for the quality i took it with my cell.

To those who have their interior trim a different color. . . Did you have it painted or have to buy whole new pieces? By the way all pics look good.

i went to walmart (or any stationary store) and got a set of plastic coloured binder dividers (that people use to seperate subjects in school etc) cut a strip to size and slid it on top of the stock one, or you can cut two, then remove the stock peice and put two in there for a deeper colour

It depends on what red you have... the bright red is called Victory Red (code is 74U), And the darker red is called Sport Red (code is 29U)
