Also as a side note I used a long kitchen knife to break the double sided tape when taking the kickplate apart. I found this to bend the aluminum a lot less than a screw driver. I also used a heat sync to hold the LEDs in place while soldering (this made it much easier than holding them with needle nose pliers/tweezers). |

The aluminum covers are so fragile that doing it without putting a single scratch or bend in one is almost impossible. Not that it mattered for me but I wouldn't take someones money because of it.

Was able to keep the OEM orange for when the door opens, as well as add RGB led's that you can connect to a controller. Link to Google photos video below. Don't mind my snorting, i am sick LED "Z" Sills Last edited by Cygnus_X_1; 03-07-2020 at 10:24 PM. |
