Mod's if I had a dollar for every person who has asked me about this, or how to do it, etc. etc. I would have an ISF by now, so maybe make it a sticky? But OP here is the DIY, it seems hard, but isn't. How to Install door cup LEDs

It's great. The fitment is worth every dollar. The only real difference between reps and authentic is that authentic has brackets underneath the lip to screw into the bottom side of the car and also has some weather stripping to fit like a glove. And course fits 'better' then reps...

I didn't bother doing ANY modifications at all with this rep and there is not a single gap on it and lines up very good.

The door locks are very easy to do, the hardest part (not hard) is removing the door panels. I have not wired the LED's yet do to time, but once I do (probably this weekend), I will post pictures!
