Very nice custom work.

Do the LED lights in the lower rocker panels turn on/off with the interior lights? I imagine they would light up the surrounding ground surface nicely at night. Would be interested to see some night time photos of that.

Any pics of the installation process?

Thank you for sharing.

I agree with the replies above - well done! It also looks like you have some marker leds on the sides of the grill - what leds are these?

Thanks all for compliments. The side markers are the white clear lenses with yellow LED bulbs. In fact there is not an original bulb outside the dash that are not LEDs. All interior, including visor lights are cool white LED. Side markers are nice and bright yellow LED @ $12

OP, is there any way to get a list of all the light kits?

I've seen different ones on ebay & some people have issues. If yours just work out of the box, I'd go your route.

Agreed synthetickiller, I would also like to know more about which bulbs you used, where you got them, etc. for both the interior and exterior and the results of the interior upgrades. Tell us more!

I didn't take photos of the installation process, but I'll take some close up photos, including tools used. Also I will do a full inventory of the lighting on the vehicle, fixtures and bulbs. There's more going on here than meets the eye.
For example, the Rocker panel light bars are recessed in the panel. I cut out slits in the plastic and secured them with 3M tape the metal of the body. So light bars is really flush mount. Lower & Upper Halos, Bumper LED Bar and Side Panel LEDS are all on their own switches, but do tie into Interior and exterior parking lights.

Any chance of an update?
I'm curious how you wired the light on the rear door.

Did you use a 30" curved LED bar for the lower grill?
Did you have to do any modifications, the one I'm looking at is also 30" but with the brackets it's around 34".
