Anyone upgrade their interior/exterior lighting?
I’m looking at installing some (2-3) LEDs, maybe two facing down on the side steps and one facing down under the exterior side mirrors for entry.
Anyone do this?
what LEDs ?

I have not done this myself, but seems like the step portion of the lights wouldn't be hard to do. The mirror would be a little more entailed as you'd have to route the wiring through the mirror/door, down to the bottom of the door (behind the molding), through the wire loom from door to body, and then tap to the appropriate wiring inside. I'd think the most simple wire to tap would be the wires running on the passenger side floorboard (under the door trim) that then runs up the passenger side b-pillar to the courtesy light. Someone might have a better idea, but that is where I'd tap if it were me. Seems like a decent bit of work for those mirror lights....but possible. I've replaced a mirror before....it's not hard to remove the actual glass portion so you have access behind it.

So i have a buddy that did something similar but used the Rigid boat deck lights. He used the wiring from the stock dome light but has taken the sound bar out completely. He used those lights as he knows they are water proof for when he leaves the top off. Would be nice to see a budget friendly version for myself
