Got myself 10 white LED’s. Gonna install 5 under both door panels and wire them up so they come on when you open the door. Should be a very simple project. Anybody else have these?

Seems simple enough. Am I right in assuming you just wire them in parallel with the door panel light?

Yep. Pretty easy. Just remove the panel, drill a hole in the bottom where you want it, put an LED mount in the hold (found on ebay for like 100 for $5 or something) and wire up the LEDs. I dremeled the head of the LED to be flush and so it would give a more omnidirectional light source rather than just a small cone of light on the ground.

Yeah. I picked up flat tops and wired them in, 11 per side. Kinda looks cool when the doors are up, too.



Changed the door light to LED and wired them into the circuit.
