    Hey guys, im hooked on LEDS.

    Just put some in my footwells, and working on the bed LEDS.

    My wifes venza has LEDS under the mirror that come on when you hit the unlock button.
    I love the look, anyone do something similar on their taco ?

    Found a pic of a IS lexus that has the same thing. ( the door handle lights look cool to but I think it would involve more work then its worth)

    My other question is, is there 12volts anywhere under the door panels ? I know the drivers side has a lighted switch But Im not sure if its 12 volt . Passanger side doesnt have any type of lights.

    The other thing id like to do is a LED on the interior next to the door handle.
    Something like this.

    Any suggestions on how to do it ?

    i got the 12v from battery...i was going to do the light under side mirror but no time yet but i did this instead

    Also, if you look closesly on the door handle, i have an amber LED installed there... get yourself some LEDs and LEDs retainers for more of factory look on ebay. I used the 5mm LEDs and retainers size.

    pretty neat, If 12v is from the battery what triggers your lights to come on?
    have anymore pics ?
    Also please be sure to take plenty of pictures if you do the under mirror lighting

    Im surprised no one else has done something like this
