Not the best of photos but basicly all handels inside and out now illuminate when the car is opened and dim out with the rest of the interior lights on starting/locking.

Nice! Where did you wire the LED into? Did you just splice off of the kickwell interior light?

I should probably ask this in an LED thread but don't you find the 'white' LED's too cold and clinical?

No i like the clean modern look of the 'ice white' light.
You shouldtry the exterior handel lighting. It looks the job at night.
Even im impressed and i did it.

Is there a guide on here somewhere on how to install that? Do exterior door handle lights come as standard on some models as I don't have that on mine??
Edit: - Additonally are there any pics on the splicing job you did on the kickwell lights for the interior door handle lighting you've done?
Cheers

Doesn't it make the door lights look a bit yellow and naff or have you replaced those as well?

I dont have any filliment bulbs anywhere in/on the car.
All internal and external have been replaced with LEDs and the high/low beams and fogs have been changed to HID bulbs.
Gives a much more 'modern' look. Not to mention alot brighter.
