Knowing that this will further stir the pot...I am on the side of doing it...Hi, my name is Josh and I used to drive a 240 fwhp "ricer." Not all of the guys that drive those cars intended for the "Fast and Furious" look. I had my car way before that movie came out and all of the wannabe crowd came along and decided to put stupid **** on cars that should never even appear on a track... My car however was SCCA legal. Just because they're on there does not mean that they are going to be on every second "distracting" people. I had a kit on my car that was relatively easy to put on and take off. I would take it off for SCCA events and then put it back on to cruise. They would only come on when I was parked, I had the elec. hooked to the park brake switch so that it wouldn't come on when I was going down the road.

Sadly the 79 I have in the shop right now has the interior footwell ones in blue....with all the electrical issues this one had, one would think these lights would never work.... Worked like a charm...nothing like a blue glow down by your feet.....
I think they should be black lights....that way it'll mess with your night vision too...

Exactly - it's intended to help the passenger find the door pull in the dark. It's behind the handle right at the pivot area. I think I filed a small notch in the backplate by the handle pivot. It's a low output LED (you can make it dimmer by adding a 500+ ohm resistor) wired to go out once the door is open (powered by the window regulator circuit - fuse 15 in 89).

I saw a VERY cool thing the other day on a late-model SUV ... the exterior door handle shines a 2x2' light near the door on the outside of the car when you touch it. I saw kids get into the SUV, and it really looked helpful.

Needed a little entertainment, Brad?
Throw some chum (aka "intentionally abrasive suggestion") in the water and you KNOW what will happen around here.
Why not suggest....
a hydraulic lift kit? Make them 928's BOUNCE, right?
flame paint job? All "real" muscle cars have 'em, right?
How about one of those LED signs that display messages? "My car is a Poorsha"!
Hope you had fun stirring the waters...
Man, talk about cabin fever. You should order cable or something.
