Default Illuminated Door Sill Pics (and my new toys!)

I finally got them installed, and it was a PITA. I bought a circuit add-on from Autozone powered them with the domelight fuse and grounded the lights to the chassis, but then when all was said and done they wouldn't turn off, so I had to go back and redo the grounds and connect them to the switches that drop the window so they turn on when the doors open.

Obviously I left the shutter open too long so the light is kind of exaggerated. They look nice though, very subtle and a good touch to an orange car

My dad and brother came home with two new dirt bikes to add to the Honda CRF-125 and the Yamaha TTR-225. The new bikes are a Suzuki RMZ-250 and a Yamaha TTR-250.

Nice.. can you leave the strut cover on with the hatch closed? If so, any pics from the outside?

Thanks! I just wired the strut to come on when the hatch is open. I thought it might glare at night if I wired it in with the lights. I might re-wire it later on down the road.

I just checked and didn't see any either. Maybe they no longer sell them on there, just keeping checking and some may appear.

I paid $124 shipped for all three pieces.

The reason I aksed is because I remember them being very cheap on ebay otherwise I know where to get them from but for $100 more than what you paid and only for 2 piece aswell: http://www.unlimitedtuning.com/Light.htm

I only need the 2 piece as I have a ZR.

UofA350Z -> Reckon you could look in your history or feedbacks and find the seller? I could then ask him personally if he's still selling them... Back when I was looking on ebay, they were "always" there but couldn't afford them then.. Now I can't see any so I have a feeling they've stopped selling them on ebay altogether, who knows.

I can't because all of my Ebay transactions are over 90 days old so I can't get detailed info. I can't tell from my feedback which seller it was. Sorry. If I come across some on Ebay I'll link them to this thread.

Dunno, but they are definitely the same doorsills. at 350zsource, they are 14 dollars more... for my piece of mind I'll probably get them from 350zsource.com
