Depends how you wire them...if you wire them the recommended way, each sill will operate independently depending on the open door

OH YEEAAHH!!! Got mine two days ago...but since I'm not keen on the previous installation instructions I'll wait for THIS version of sills' installation guide. Someone jump up and do a LED Lighted sills installation for dummies guide. LOL.

this might answer your question

Quick question, if in the future I would like to revert back to the stock sills would i have to buy a new set of sills or can these be easily removed?

they go over factory sills with the supplied double sided tape. no need to remove the oem acura silver door sill piece either from the actual oem door sill.

you may or may not need to add more double sided tape. but yea they can be removed because its just double sided tape holding it down

Fully Removable with no damage to stock sills. Even if you use the rubber based epoxy on the rears you will have no issues.

Half way done with my install. Attached all four sills to stock oem sills. I used extra double sided mounting tape on the fronts and especially on the rear sills where the curved area is. That curved area had to be built up a little with square pieces of mounting tape in layers.

Not really much of a DIY on this part if you have common sense and test fit as you go. I didnt bother with pics since im pretty lazy when it comes to making a DIY.

Will probably install and wire them up tomorrow. My only concern at this point is those curved areas on the rear sills since the curve seems a little high (even before adding mounting tape) and hope the doors close without them getting scratched up.

I also used a couple rubber clamps to help with making a good adhesion to the stock sills. Left them in place for a couple minutes as i put them on different areas of each sill.

I used 3m mounting tape

someone suggested clamping the sills in place for atleast over night for a tight snug fit, but my question is what kind of clamps are being used?

can someone show me a picture of the clamp and where i can buy it from?

anyway i will be installing mine this weekend....stay tuned....will do a DIY unless someone beats me to it....

driver side is done/installed and working also driver front and rear work seperately. I didnt use the included wire harness either. I only used it to find out which wires were + and - from the LED on the door sill.

From looking at the supplied wire harness, it looked like the driver front and rear wouldnt operate independantly, i could be wrong but thats just me, only because that harness has 2 wires (minus the black connection clips) to connect.

dont have time to do passenger side today, will continue tomorrow. Followed the directions listed here http://www.sbadesign.com/acurazine/sills/, minus the voltage regulators.

i got my connections directly at the wire loom running along the interior door sill (front and rear)

easy and no need to go directly to the fuse box behind driver kick panel. I also have a few years of 12v install experience and had my voltage multimeter.

The sills should be able to work independently and hence you see 2 reds and 1 black (2 power, 1 each and 1 black, ground)

This connects the front and back...i was also thinking of going without using the connector but lets see the how the install goes....

Maybe your harness is different than mine, I was referencing the only one I got in this pic, http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...n/4b2ff947.jpg

there are only 2 wires to connect because the black connectors just plug in. so you have a black wire and a red wire to connect. The black wire goes to the door pin wire, and the red to 12v constant.

Since there is only one black to connect, its only going to operate off of one door pin, so if that door pin wire from the door is open, both will light up instead of one. if that door is closed and the other is open, none will light up, therefor they will not operate independently

Here is some pics of the clamps i used, got them at Home Depot. the have like soft padding and wider footing than regular clamps so you don't scratch or dent the new sills. cost about 20.00 a pair
