Were the LEDs you bought designed for 12v or did you have to add resistors for all of them? I've been putting of adding LEDs on just because of a lack of electrical knowledge.

I bought specific 12v LEDs which came prewired. No need for resistors. The last pic shows the door pocket light, which I added a "diffuser" made out of tape (same used in pic 2) and wrapped everything with electrical tape.

I bought the LEDs from this seller: eBay My World - 1michiganger

Some pics for you:

How about those Lights in the Door Handles? I recently got my handles which had hole in it, however the plastic light wiring kind was all broken off. and the bulb doesn't sit in that hole (doesn't stay there) made me so mad I left all them off door covering. There is no Other way then to get once that have all plastic on them right?

Awesome, thanks! I've looked at that seller but was wary of how they advertise 12V LEDs since most only require ~3V. I guess it is fine since nothing has blown up for you.

Also, thanks for pictures of where you mounted them. I'll try and do the same if I decide to take on this project later on.

just did a similar mod using the stock led bulbs.only thing is i wired it to the interior lights.as i was doing the install i thought to myself wait why don't wire this with interior lights that come on with the headlight switch, but it looks like you beat me too it.only question is what wire did you tap into such that they come on when your headlights are on?

Nice,

Where do you tap the power from the radio for the rear doors? In the trunk?

same question i asked.looked into a little bit and i think you tap into this red/gray wire.you can actuallt find it in the wire harness used to move the window up and down.makes sense since that lights up as well with the "radio" lights.gonna give it a try when the extra bulbs i ordered come in
