Iv seen a few BMW's that have the door handle lights and have recently seen them for sale in a magazine. Im just wondering how difficult it is to install them and where I can find them at a resonable priceconfused

Its easy if a little time consuming. Take the inner door trim and plastic seal off, remove door handle assembly from the car and either glue on an LED strip inside the handle at the top (were the tips of your fingers would be when opening) or drill some small holes in the same place and press fit the single LED's. Carefully run the wiring back to a door activated supply and replace everything being carefull to ensure the window does not foul the wiring when it is lovered. Did this on my Monaro and its looks factory fit now and draws comments since you cant see where the light comes from. Be carefull or it could end up making your car look as if it belongs on a council estate!
