Lights under your door handles?

[Dave09]

I havent seen one yet but if there was a kit available that had a small lighting system to go under your exterior door handles would you buy it? It would shine straight down like an under glow kit and make it look like the area under the handle was glowing. I think that would look pretty cool.

why cant you put a hole, seal it and put a 194 bulb there? thats a smart idea that i didnt concider till now.

i have an alarm and when i disarm the system the dome light is on....i can connect my 194 to that dome light and then have a illuminated door handle...plus a 194 doesnt have much current draw so that you dont have to make any more relays...

this would be a nice DIY...almost simple too

just use 12v LED's

That would look awesome. And the same thing with like a remote start. Hook that up so when the car is remote started the door handles would glow... That woud be a very Tastful mod....

I was wondering becasue i have a patent pending on something like that and i can purchase the full rights to it on monday if i want. Its a lot of money to front so i am trying to see if it will be worth it.

[Doubletap]

If you are gonna make a kit put me down for one cause that would be friggin awesome to have... On the other hand isn't it a pian in the ass to break the seal on the door and then redo it? Or is that just if you have to remove the handel assembly?

All i have to do now is find a company to make it for me.

What kind of kit do you think you need??? All you would need is to go to Radio Shack for what every bulbs you need. I would personally go for LED because of their low amperage and plus they never burn out.

As far as hook up... Just tie it into what ever you need it to. I would not shell out big bucks for something that really doesn't require a special kit.

most of the time, kits are cheaper/more convienient. the whole diy thing does have many +. i was mostly just messing around about the discount. i try to stay away from any "lighting mods" because they are super easy to do and thats why everyone does them. im not knocking this guys idea because it sounds like a good one. just worried something like this is gonna turn into the 'new altezzas'

I doubt it that it would turn into the Altezza crap. I mean, even if you make it as a kit, it will be very labor intensive to install. The hardest part would being running the wires from the doors to inside the cabin. Many DIY people wouldn't want to mess with it. Heck, even taking the door panels off sometimes can be a challenge. At least with Altezza, you only had to unplug the old and plug in the new.

[Dave09]

Yeah I think you are right about it being a lot of labor. What is Altezza?

altezzas are really rare taillights that you hardly ever see on cars. they are clear and replace the stock taillights. they add about as much hp as turbochargers/superchargers/nitrous would. not only do they give your car that "custom" one of a kind look, but when installed, they intercept some of the electrical systems in your car, mainly the ECU. This causes drastic changes in the horsepower department by modifying the air/fuel ratios to your engine, its kind of an 'unexplainable phenominon' throughout the automotive, and more specifically import, world.
