My daily driver is a Touareg...it has LEDs for the interior door handle...very cool...and most ppl who ride in my car thinks they're cool....cuz at night...seeing the door handle is helpful.

As for LEDs on the exterior door handles...I think its cool too.

those outside handles are a bit bright IMO, but i actually think they look pretty good inside and out...... as long as they were alot dimmer

ok the audi one isnt to bad, althought im not a fan of that red.

no way those lights stay on the bmw while your in motion though do they?
they just seems like its screaming "PULL ME OVER PLEASE,ESPECIALLY FOR DISTRACTING OTHER DRIVERS"

now the altima is nice especially at night but the OP originally posted about having INTERIOR door handles lit up, NOT the exterior. ALTHOUGH that link does show a DIY on the interior also....

I agree, if they were dimmer they would look more classy... instead of looking like they are aftermarket rice (Honda) products.

yes, ambient lighting is great. it is just hard getting the angles right. not hard to do at all. the door ecu is the best place to tap into for open only lighting and for all the time on i'd tap the ign.
