I'm guessing by the shape of the prototype that he made, it looks like it goes in where there's a pop-out hole underneath your mirrors.

That is correct, look on the underside of your side view mirrors.

I see, so do these just come on after you turn the car off? Have yet to see these before.

I'm just guessing here, but they come on and off with the courtesy lights meaning when you open the door. Just like the ones you now have on the inside of the doors.

Yes, they tap into the courtesy lights so it's only when those lights go on/off.

Update: I'm just finishing up the last revisions of the piece and a couple 8 members gave me some advice on which plastic resin to use. I'm getting sample resin from the companies and will be trying them out.

Yeah........you and Shazbot do realize I was just taking it easy on the person asking the question.....right? I had about 10 things to answer as a smart-*** remark, but I let it go.

Yeah I figured but wanted to clarify for the "newer" peeps

Dealing with the fires in the foothill area cause they're near my house right now. Still waiting on my samples to come in from the plastic resin companies. I expect within 2 weeks I should be able to ship a batch out.

Thanks for everyone's patience! Reason why I it's taking a bit longer than I expected is because I don't want to half *** on any parts. Rather get it done right with quality the first time.
