Bought off eBay.

Installed in 2 minutes Make sure you clean the contact parts for better 3m double sided tape glue power.



The lights shines in darkness. and beautifully reflects on the door sill plate.

I'd say post the DIY but it looks like a simple tap into the door light and stick the strip on the bottom of the door - correct ??

Well, It is so simple.

just Stick the strip, Remove the courtesy light, tape or solder the LED strip terminals to it (CHECK + and -, just test them, if incorrect LED just wont light, and you wont blow them up). once finished, the put inside the door all the excess cable, and magically the plastic cover holds the cable tight and fits perfectly.

Any night time pics? Seems like the color is different for the strip than for the housing...

I was thinking about doing that before I got the R-Dash... But the R-dash is PLENTY bright. Although, for the money, the strips look good.

I will take when the sun goes down.

The Light reflected at night is 90% same. You cant notice it unless you laydown on the floor and look at the bulbs directly.

Always Money Making Mind LOL.


I will take a picture tonight, It does have a difference in color temperature, more K's than the 2LED light, but no one will notice it.
