bg02gar Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 lol, im sure tht what they called but yeh o wel, the lights under door handles! like on bmw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) They are called " lights under the door handles " , much more manly title lol It's going to involve running a circuit into your central locking one and then stripping the door to drill in the lights, alot of effort for something that isn't all that good.

shaunsprules Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'm sure if u get a 3 door system off BMW and "modify" it to fit then atleast u will know it will fade and turn off :LWas going to put "welcome home" system on where your lights stay on for 20secs but that was a ball ake....

Rich Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I heard he likes to take his mum's five door car dogging, he leaves the sidelights on and puts the rear passenger window precisely one third down. . . .Occasionally, he pops the boot.

Derv Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 You mean interior ambient lights? Or 'combined lights' as Porsche seem to call them.I find them quite handy. They softly illuminate the door handles, ignition lock, and from the interior light down to the centre console. It make sit easier to to see things inside the car at night, without having to put the bright interior lights on.Although when you know your car well enough, you don't really need a soft glow of light to know where things like door handles are. It does save some passengers feeling around in the dark for the door handles to get out.I also like a door puddle of light, so that you can see what you are stepping out on to at night.

James827 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 if you buy a second set of handles i reckon this is total doable. maybe hard work but its not impossible. just split the handles in two, cut out some of its innards and carefully mount those halfrauds things in wiring though the handle into the door and thus inside. and from there? interior light?

Derv Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I've just remembered they're also known as 'comfort lights' in Audi circles.You just need an LED or two in the door handle. You wouldn't want them wired up to the interior light. Maybe the sidelights. I've never really studied when they're on, I just notice them at when it's dark.
