What LED rating did you use for this DIY?

Just a suggestion..... Sand the end of the led to have a better light dispersal... That one super bright dot looks cheesy IMO
Sand the "head" down and appreciate the even flood of light |

Not bad at all, but there are LED's that have a Diffused Lens and have a 160 Viewing Angle to do what you did.

I know but some here are using regular led's and having a bad "hot spot" which looks cheesy. Plus cheaper to buy a $1.29 led and sand the top ...I'm a cheapskate sometimes haha!

I got mine at SuperBrightLeds.com, They were $0.59, 120 degrees, didn't have to sand them and they also have the flat top that fits flush with the handle.

Cool! I'll have to find you and give you a hug (or buy you a beer or whatever, Lol).
You have no idea how much you've helped over the last couple of years!!

I thought I read somewhere that there was a dome light power wire in the large wire bundle behind the door speakers for these door handle lights. I just bought some LEDs to install in my door handles but not sure exactly where to wire them too. I don't want to go through the doors. I already have extra wires for other stuff and don't want to do anymore.
