Was looking at puting some lights on the edge of the driver and passenger dorrs,so when you open the door the lights come on.

There are a rubber grommets there already.


any thoughts??

I've considered this in the past..But never did get round to doing it. If you are talking about lights to simply warn traffic the doors are open, then consider the 3 led thin strip lights that are intended to light up exterior doorhandles... They are thin enough not to interfere with the door jamb when the doors close i reckon.... :wink:

Like these but in red...

Had one a couple of years ago with a stick on strip of red leds and it also had a strip of white leds stuck on bottom of doors facing down to illuminate ground around when getting in.

Was a fairly nasty Japanese job with a kind of stick on tap holding the wire and wire was routed in through to cabin and interior lights circuit.

Liked the concept the job was a little nastily done.
