Looks good! If you wanted to have the door light run all the to the dash... you remove a piece of tape and do a little sanding on the panel. There are also orange looks red GM plug and play lights if anyone can't handle cutting and soldering.

In person these lights are RED. Pics might look a lil orange but just simple IPhone pics. The look great in person and I'm thrilled. Easy mod so next yr I might change to white, just cause :P

Ah, that is true, just swap out the wiring instead of the LEDs but if you buy other colors you can make any color LED in there... need 5mm LED, can get green, pink, blue, yellow, UV, etc...

About $0.79 average per LED. And if you do it right, you only need 2.

Brandon, I'm on leave 1st week of next month (Not going anywhere, just not working

I'm off the evening of 28Mar(thur but that is my Bday and the wife has reservations somewhere for us) and off thru the 1st.

John (black V6 at the meet) said he'd like to change his door panels to red and I'll try and get some black light surrounds before then.

If decide to change to all white put a fed in the other end. I it make the light more even across the door. I did it that way on doors in red.
