Looks good. Do you know if they are selling that kit and if so how much? I'm guessing we would have to drill in the door handle for this right? Looking at other installs on other cars, it might be a PITA tapping into a power source.

hmmm wonder how you'd drill on the inside of the door handle when the pressure sensor for the keyless entry is located there...

The IS posted above is a custom DIY. The owner himself did it. He modded just about every single lighting inside that car. He did the blue LED's on the interior, etc.

There is photos of his LED door handle mod, he basically drilled a corner of it, stuck a LED on there and wired it up.

Our door handles keyless system isn't "pressure sensors", so there wouldn't be a issue. Rather the sensor is located on the inside of the handle itself.

Always wanted to do this mod, just lazy to take things apart. Like the usual pocky.

the owner of this car belongs to the JP car site. I browse on their occasionally to find cool things.

Like Pockey said, this guy has done basically everything to his light mods. I will find more DIY later, most are in Japanese so probably will need to be translated.

I'll get to it soon. Won't be off work for while.
