Talking LED Door handles installed on switch...

I spent all day today wiring four LEDs in the doors handles and then wiring them all to one switch in the instrument panel. I installed 12000K head lights too...

Oh I like it is it tied in with the rest of your lights so when you push unlock they light up?

That big red button looks like an emergency ejection button or missile launcher button.

^ true story. the wire hanger is hanging off the garage rails

why did you make a switch for the handle lights and not tap them into the dome light? it looks like excessive work.

I used a zip tie....i'm cheap can't waste a coat hanger. I found it easier to pull the boot off the frame and then feed it through that way. Also i just needed to peel back the foam behind the seatbelt tensioner a little bit and feel inside for the wires to snake through. Just a little help to others who tackle this project.

I still prefer them to turn on with the dome llight, but I can see why having a switch would be nice. The wires through the boots is pretty easy after you do it once, just put a straight length of a coat hanger all the way through the boot then bend a hook into the side the wire is coming through and tie the wire around the hook and pull.

And I think Kris is just bringing something to light about Batman that we have all suspected for some time, but don't really want to believe and is hard ro accept. Why else would he keep brining in new Robins after they got killed? Or give him that gay red and green suit for that matter?
