Thats pretty spendy if ya ask me. I mean I guess its alright if thats your thing, but 17x4= 68 bucks for led strips to light up your door when you open it. I dunno, I guess i'd do it if the whole setup was 30 bux or less.

different strokes for different folks i guess. last time i looked it was a $500 dollar option on a mercedes. i would have gotten these if they were $100 a door but thats just me.

What are you trying to do?? What you need for door sill lights are:
4 x 6mm LED strips (12 inches long each)
That's it! 4 strips for all doors. probably 2 strips if you want them lighting the interior, like footlights and 2-3 strips if you want the trunk/engine bay lit.
All i've got is 1 - 6mm strip at each door.
4 x 6mm LED strips (12 inches long each)

How hard is the wiring to install on a scale 1-10?

The thing is, as i'm sure you'll understand, with the GB price, it will be lower than retail. If the GB goes through, and then I do a DIY on it, THEN you purchase it, i can't guarantee the GB price. I'm more than happy to get them for you after the GB, i just want to make sure that you guys know that price MAY change.

Fit of rage do you really like your engine bay lights? im really interested in them. Can you give me some more information on them please. Possibly how hard they were to mount and a brief overview of how you wired them. How many do you think it would take for the red ones to really set the engine bay off? Im still in for the 4 door ones im just on the fence about the engine bay ones. Thanks in advance.

I'm still little bit confuse!!!
so it doesn't matter the LED is 6mm wide or 12mm wide, they both comes with 12 inch long, am I correct??
So Fit of RAGE, what you did are put x4 6mm Strip (which is 12 inch each) on each to each door??
So am I able to connect all wire together, then put 2 wires to the demo light?? I don't want so much wire then I get confuse!!!

1) Yes, each strip is 1/2 meter LONG and 6 or 12 mm wide
2) I put 1 x 6mm strip (1/2 meter long) at each door. 6mm is obviously smaller and easier to hide than 12mm
3) You can wire EACH strip to each other if you want them longer. They've go special connectors that connect to each other (male and female ends) If 1/2 meter lengths are TOO long, there are dash marks everywhere it's safe to cut them smaller, LENGTH wise
I"l try and get a pic of the lights offso you can see what i'm talking about.

Thanks for the PM Fit of Rage. Give me a couple days to think about it and i will get back to you. I think im gonna have to do it though. Your engine bay looks so sick. Thanks for the quick response.
