Underdoor flexible light strip - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well I've had another idea of where I can use some LEDs I have laying around. My plan is to attach them to the underside of the door and wire them in with the footwells that I'll be installing at the same time. Basically so when I open the door the ground underneath will be completely lit in blue. Otherwise they'll function with the dome light, so when I unlock and open the doors they'll automatically come on.

Has anyone done anything similiar other than those projector style lights I've seen on here? I'm tryin to figure out how to send the wires through while making it invisible.

My LEd strips arrived today, I plan to put them under the car as puddle lights, connected to the dome light feed. Same Idea, but will be visible when the door is closed.

Before you get too involved have you dry fitted the strips? There is very little room between the door and the sill and all the strips I've seen appear to be too thick to fit when the door is closed.

Yeah I dry fit the ones I have and they fit. My main concern now is the wiring. I guess I can use some loom and tuck it out of the way though.

Please explain "dry fitted". Sounds like a nice inexpensive mod
