Still going. Just been busy changing jobs and school starting again. Also, I'm just having issues with the light enclosure right now. Need to find a certain one or modify it.

if you look underneath the side view mirrors there are spots where these lights would go. the are used on euro cars i believe. these lights only come on when you open you door and the interior lights come on, so that when you step out you dont step in a puddle. these are very subtle and are a nice touch to the car, unlike neons which are very bright and are various colors.

Hey sorry for the delay. I just have the hindge and the screw part to make and it should be good to go. Here's a work in progress picture...



I'm also making the fitment more defined and angled so the light shines at the car/ground, if possible, better than derwinkles' puddle lights.

shazbot- you should include LED's rather than regular bulbs. I found with my puddle lights that the "super-white" led's look incredibly sexy and whenever I unlock my car at night, people ask me how they can do it to their cars.

LOL, I figured I'd have a little fun at your expense and give this thread a bump all in one shot.

I would be interested as well. Heck, I can even make my own! It really depends on how much you'll charge for it.
