Install lit door handle

It was pretty easy actually. I door handle area is made of plastic, so I drilled a very tiny hole enough for the wires to pass through. Took the door panel off, and peeled the foam insulator away to pull the wire down to where the door light wires were and connect.

The 3 in strips actually have a good length of wires, so that area where the window rolls up and down, you'll want to route the wires so that it is not in the way of your window operating.

My suggestion is have it connected to the door lights, as it is a subtle addition and looks slick when you lock and unlock your doors. Constant on would be a bit distracting for others on the road and imo cheapens the look of the car but tied to functionality of the door lighting system, it's a thumbs up for me.
