i have spent the last 3 hours searching the forum for this picture/thread! i am 100% positive that it originated from here, with someone doing an interior LED mod and decided to put a led in the door handle. it was a blue led, and in the thread the poster said that it was in such a position that you could not see it glare while driving !

And what purpose does that serve?

 

nono, i know of the TL thread, but that is for the exterior... i'm looking specifically for the interior handle.. mainly to see how they mounted the LED.

really, there's no purpose except the 'wow' factor that you give to other people. and i suppose it gets dark sometimes?

i'm planning to do the LED overhaul, but with some ambient lighting (in the door handles, in the footwells front and rear), and eventually do something LED related to the headlights!

my inspiration is the new CTS with the light pipes and LED interior lighting.. if you ever get to see one, you'll understand.

 

The RL has this feature
could be helpful if you live in the woods..

but i'm sure most people on the board doing this to be flashy/gizmo stuff...

 

Too much work for all that.

 

Wow, thats really cool if you ask me! I don't think I'll ever do that, but I would like to!

 

did it to my friends e46.... its not useful but its just wow i guess..... believe it or not we took 9 hours... some was waiting for the silicon to dry... ran into a small problem... i suggest doing it once its warmer out unless you like the cold

 

i've been pondering the idea of putting red mood lights in the interior. something like what you see in the new 5series

 

i have a heated garage so i do all my work there (even in minus -15C)

so did you just drill holes and use silicone then?

 

yeah but he has a different handle than the cl. did u take a look at the tl thread?
