Cool LED's in the pocket on door

I thought maybe some one else would like to see what I did on the door's where the pocket is and there's no light's so I tapped into the one little where the (194 bulb) door light is and hooked up some LED's so when you open the door it lights up. I think it look's pretty cool at night. Sorry pics aren't that clear was at night no flash on the camera phone

Sure thing all you need to do is you already have lights in you door correct, I took some Led strips got them at Auto Zone $20.00 bucks and connected them to the wires that were already in the door and double edge taped them down so that wont move it really pretty simple so when the lights you already have come on when you open your door the other ones will do the same thing I also put a strip of blue in the trunk also. Just test them to see which wire needs to go where I just cut a little notch in the wire to test them first so you know which one to put where. Thanks

Okay, i see that makes sense. I thought you drilled out holes or something and retro-fitted a second set of bulbs inside the panel. But i have a rough idea on a project of my own for now.

Thanks for the inspiration
