Door handle LED lights PICS

hey guys whats up. i did this about a year ago and i've seen this talked about before and have seen it on ebay, but i decided to do it myself with LEDs from Superbrightleds.com and some wire. drilled some holes to put the leds in the handles and ran the wires threw the doors to a switch by the moon roof. easy stuff and total cost was about 25 bucks for switch, LEDs, and wire.

forgot to say that. i have them hooked up to a relay switch so when you unlock the doors the leds come on. you can relay it from the dome light of straight from the head lights. and you could also use white lights

blue is a little too much for me.... white would be better imo. and it seems like the LEDs are too bright.. something dimmer would look better imo... but still doesnt look too bad, nice work

Looks good but some dimmer leds would definately look better.

Second that, although I would choose another color, more subtle.
