I finished the install. I was worried that they would be too bright, but they are perfect. I was sitting there with the remote in one hand and the other hand on the door switch testing to see if they came on and turned off properly. Accidentally set off the alarm. Decided it was time to go inside before the neighbors lynched me. Did not go back out with the camera. 
They look great and I am a happy customer.

My Results and a White Light Question
Rodger,
Got mine installed as well. (Blue LED's) The instructions were great, and very detailed.
Took me a while to find one of the wires, but your instructions said that would happen too.
I'm in the middle of moving, so this thread will have to rely on other's pictures. I'm just happy I had time to install them.
One thing I'm going to have to look into:
My feeling is that the "white" lights inside the cabin (one on each door, as well as the map/reading lights) definitely drown out the coolness of the blue LED's.
I know that it's possible to replace all of these with blue lights of some kind, and I'd consider doing that to the ones on the doors (I know, I know, I can search to find this, but if anyone reading this happens to know off the top of their head what I need to do to replace the door lights, as well as a good source for those bulbs - how hard a switch-out it would be, etc. I'd be grateful).
I don't want to lose the functionality of the reading lights, so I doubt I'll change those out. I may just have to live with the white light they give off (detracting from the blue LED's) in order to have them when I need em. (Anyone have any other ideas for me on this part?)
All in all, a very cool mod, with solid instructions, fast shipping, and from someone who deserves our support for some of the very reasons Wilson has already mentioned.
Thanks, Rodger.
Michael

Hey Rodger,
I just put mine in this weekend and they look great!!! We did a little variation on the install and connected them to a hidden toggle switch so that I can control when I want the lights on. We also wired it almost entirely with the factory harness so that it looks like nothing was tapped so my local Mazda dealer wont harass me. I connected everything down to the fuse box so if I ever forget to shut them off, my battery wont kill itself! So far, best $50 I've spent on appearance! Thank You so much!!

Rotary Rasp - Pls remember the directions to keep the lights on if I choose to do it that way, and to hook it up to my fog lights or night driving light switch. Thx...

I'm going to make instructions for those who want to hook it up the the running lights.
Remember that you cannot do both. You must choose either running lights or dome lights.
