If you get some blue transparancy material, just cut out a small square large enough to cover the opening on the back side of the interior trim piece around the pull and secure it w/ scotch tape. That's the easy way to get blue and also how I got mine blue. I would have done led's but the sockets were already there so I just put in bulbs. smile

I found a way to use the existing socket's for LED's. Break the bulb out and solder a resistor or get a 12 volt LED and fill the socket with silicon or hot glue...replace and there you go!

just so everyone who wants to replace light's knows..there is an easy way to do it that even a one armed retard could do. I'll try to explain it here but if anyone want's to know more or get more detail email me at a_brex@yahoo.com

just so you know...there is a much easier way to replace the lights. I found some high output LED's (blue) that have the resistor attached and it is contained inside a little box. The kit comes with 4 lights ranging from blue to red and all other colours in the spectrum. The way I did it was to take out the stock lights from their socket...plastic socket and all.On top of where the light socket fit's is the square shaped flat plastic area atop the outside of socket. The resistor cabinet is the perfect size to fasten to it with double sided tape. there is about 3/4 of an inch of wire from the resistor box to the led. bend the led so it makes a U shape and attach the resistor box to the top of where the old socket used to fit. buy the crimpable ends that fit the stock wires and fasten to the led wires, replace the door panel...no drilling, no cutting, no soldering, or even cutting of any stock wires..the most distruction you do to your car is peeling back the foam! Let Me know if you have any questions. I will be hosting pictures on my website. the address is www.auctionstar.ca keep checking..I'll put a link below the AHB TECH logo for you all. (you'll understand when you go there)
