Not sure if I totally get why you need this? The outside mirrors have puddle lights already.

if it lights up when you unlock/lock doors, it'd look cool...but I dunno about having a light there 24/7....

I think the red/blue wire he's connecting the LEDs to are the same for the unlock/lock power.

Okay PPL. here how it works the lights will be lit up when you unlock and will be off when lock with the key.
for those who wonder why i do this... I dont have the light under the mirror and dont want to put it there cauz i'm gonna get rid of those elephants ears and replace it with some thing else.

The Mod is a bad ass mod.....actually I am going to fly Tom out to do my non puddle light X5.................

Tom great job..........way to get nitty gritty and get an awesome mod done...

Even if I did have puddle lights....which I don't ....that is very awesome having LED's on each door handle.......

Can't wait to get mine done.

Not sure why you did the 4.6 kit?!?! LOL!! :bustingup :bustingup :bustingup (inside jk)
