Looks good, I get compliments on mine all the time...

Would be easy to tap into the puddle light wiring so they come on as soon as the door is opened.

You have to do a 'how too' on this one. It is one mod that seems to be easy-ish to do from thinking about it but very effective.

Easy enough to do I placed 1 strip in each door pocket, drilled a tiny 3 mm hole in the bottom corner of door pocket then soldered the wires to the puddle light terminals (popping out puddle light for access) If there was ever an award for the best looking/cheapest mod surely I must be inline ...Im going to try & make the Manchester meet on Sunday If I do I can show them there.

Your a legend. I've just ordered some red ones. £4.00 for four. How good is that? Thanks mate.

Already have LED's in the puddle lights so think I might try splicing these into the door pockets via the puddle lights. Do they come with sticky backs on the strips?

How about using this idea to have a Bentley/new Merc Benz high level brake light in the rear touring window. The old one won't be too hard to black out and have these red led strips right across the back window of my touring...???? Get the idea?

My rear window is tinted so don't think you would see the strip much and only see the lights. Shouldn't be too hard to take a feed off the high level brake light already there... Maybe..???
