Dave, if the LED LP lights won't fit, you could put a strip of LED lights on the outside surface of the trim panel, there's a linear indentation where the fasteners are. I think an LED strip would be thin enough to go under the door as well.

 

That is a really neat idea Dave!

 

 

A trick to find the gap between doors and door jams, or air cleaner box and hood, is to use Silly Putty on one surface with the other side of the putty covered with plastic wrap. Shut the door or hood and it will squash the putty to the thickness of the gap. The plastic wrap stops the putty from sticking on the surface on that side.

 

 

Let us know how it turns out.

 

I would mount them on the bottom of the door jams. Mounted on the rockers, too much crap from the road will get on them, not to mention driving water from the front wheels when it is raining.

 

 

I'm with you, just as soon they came on before I got there and lit up underneath.

 

My taurus has puddle lights mounted on the underside of the side view mirrors, so thats an option!

 

 

I have them for the GLK, they simply replace the OEM ones in the doors.

Does anyone know how to wire this all up?

 

 

Run wires from inside the car connected to a circuit that becomes live with the doors open, as shown here, CLICK. Then run the wire forward under the carpet and come up and over the sill where it is covered by the sill cap which has CROSSFIRE embossed on it. Run it along the side of the sill and put the wires through the gap at the forward edge of the rocker cover.
There may be better ways to run the wires upon more thought.
After all how hard could it be?
