They look great!

By puddle lamps, do you mean when you open the door/unlock the car they illuminate? Or am I wrong…

They look nice~! Especially if you are showing your car at HIN or other shows. Great for SHOW, but for street use. Green would be a nice color too!

I got them from REV-01 at hawaiiantsx 's suggestion. They aren't wired up yet, I'll probably wire them just to the door/fob, and maybe add a switch later (if I can find one that looks OEM)

no, they are only on when you open your door, off when you're driving

I was only test fitting the side skirt, its not fully attached

This site sells a different kind for $40, a pretty good price. http://jlevistreetwerks.com/store/pr...a2f7e77dab42fd

A lot of scions have installed those, they're 1 LED per light. The ones I got from REV-01 were 5 LED per light and cost more.

I must agree, yours do look better. The linked ones are crooked, but maybe that's faulty install. Let us know if you bought them from somewhere different in the write-up!!

those are advertised as stick-on ones to simplify installation, the method I used is much more time consuming but you get better results. you can retrofit those linked ones to use the better method. a friend of mine might try them out for his g35 so i can help him install them

Xizor,

Those look really really nice man!

Where did you tap for the signal wire to get them to turn on and off when the door is open and closed? One of the footwell lights?

Also, I'm assuming REV-01 is a member on here, can you PM me his contact info and what he charged you, it seems to me that the more led's per spot light the better it looks

Good stuff, looking forward to the writeup!

No blue leds for interior? On my PWP the blue leds i find go really nice, when i open my door, it shines onto the side of my car and kinda looks like i have leds underneath.

Nonetheless it looks nice!.

haven't wired them up yet, I'll post when I have it all done. But basically for wiring, the power needs to be connected to white/blue, and the ground need to be connected to red/green, both which should be in the fuse box.
