Default LS460 Door cup LEDs......in the back doors too.

Hey guys. Well while I wait for these damn rims to come in, I figured I would put the LS460 Door cup LEDs in the four doors and did the door locks. I referred to the thread created by JavyLSU found here:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-cup-leds.html

I did mine a little different. I ran the wires through the factory door loom and connected these to the same lights that are in the foot wells. I did this because I wanted them to dim when I was driving. However I also wanted them to be full brightness when in park, or when the door was open. Just a personal preference I guess. I did the back doors as well. Here are a couple of pics for those who might want to try the back doors.

These required only some dremeling. No epoxy or double sideed tape to hold the light in place. If you dremel correctly, they are pressure fitted in.













Just wanted to share.

Cool idea to wire it that way. YouTube video of the dimming?
