My friend has a 335i sedan and the door handle lights are much brighter than the ones pictured in this thread. The Bimmer actually uses them as puddle lights plus to light up the door handle itself.

In any case, this mod is hot, even if it only light up the handle...

Pocky, are they wired into the puddle lights or the illuminated plates?

Is it a 5mm led? Did you silicone the inside to keep the water out?
