My in-laws just bought a 2014 maxima. Its a pretty car inside and out. anywhos, i noticed when u either unlock the car with the fob or open the doors, there are bright white lights that run along the underside of the rocker panels. i really like it and wouldnt mind having my car do the same. Not blue, green, red, yellow or any color in between just white when i unlock or open the door. it looks "classy" i guess. ill try and find a picture thanks for any opinions

 

here is a pic. hope u get the idea. i need to get a pic in real life.

 

Would be easy to do with LED strips but hard to keep clean I'd imagine...

 

Ya I am thinking if I were to do it I could use diode dynamics

 

That would be a pretty easy thing to set up. I hope you are wanting this for parking lot visibility and not to drive around town looking like an a$$hat.

 

I assure u I have no plans to drive around with these on. Like I said in the initial post, they would just come on when I unlock the door and or open the doors. Then turn off when the doors shut, the car locks, or when I turn the key. Basically they need to do exactly what the dome lights do.

 

 

No factory lighted door sills on a 2005. Would probably be easiest to tap into the dome light assembly.

I got a couple LED panels to use as footwell lights, going to tap off the dome light wiring for those.

 

Sounds like a cool idea. Post pics when you get it finished.
