Default Re: KPI Custom lighted door sills available now!

well, got my lighted sills in yesterday. I like them, just "Crossfire", in white. For installation orientation, the youtube vido is most helpful. took me about an hour because the ground is a brown with yellow stripe wire. unfortunately there are at least 3 of those in the harness, kept going back and forth with the two I found, then realizing there must be another in there somewhere. I'll assume that most harnesses are the same, so don't use the 2 most easily found, but the one buried deeper in the middle and on the red wire with gray stripe(power) side. It's more brown with a thin yellow stripe.

It's hard to get the sills back on tight as the clips are weird. Two will stay on the car, two will be on the sill when you pop it off. The overlay sticks down well, but there's some give and it's hard to get them snapped in tight. the overlay also is a bit loose, big, whatever, over the back carpeting side, so I may end up with putting some thin tape behind that to just firm it up a bit.

2 suggestions for later iterations. 1) make the lit area, and the lettering a bit bigger. It looks fine, just a little small and underwhelming in my opinion, but they are well lit. 2) make the front lip a bit longer so that there's a strip of polished dropped down a bit and covers the exposed body strip right below it. would look just a bit more finished and solid IMO.

other than that they are well made and I like them.
