Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Illuminated Door Sills (Like Lexus') ?

Has anyone every though of custom making illuminated door sills like some Lexus' models? That'll be extremely cool! Open up your door and have your door sills light up blue or something I'd buy it!

that would be cool...those door sills are awesome..my mom's rx330 has them...its teh hotness

like this i guess? that would be nifty if some aftermarket thing went on and made it for the celi..

So I presume its illuminated with LED's...



unique way to personalize your Mercedes. The name "Mercedes-Benz" illuminates in blue in the stainless steel door sill each time you open the door.

I could make it easily I have some Illuminating foil and just need to get some allu and 'dremel a bid and were all done

I would definetly want that for my car

yeah that sounds like a good project... might do it...

it's really not hard, it's just finding a way to make it come on when your door opens... you could probably splice it off the dome light and have it on door so when your door opens so does your dome light and your sills

^^^ yeah that would be the smart thing to do...

I'm a Jeanious!!!!

these mods are not easy to do without asking questions, don't just eye ball the project or youll be hurting your celi's feeling...

so,, how will you make the cover?

LoL Satoshi, you never cease to amaze me. I think what I'd do to make the cover, I'd just take the OEM sills, and take a Dremel tool to the lettering, Carve taht shit out, then take a piece of Pliable Plastic to cover up the holes from the inside, so like dirt and water and shit don't get onto the indiglo thingy. then just put the indiglo thingy under the sill and then connect it to the dome light by means of the A pillar

^^then you will post pictures

gotta love el strips lol

where could I get those indiglo sheets? I want some!!!!

how do i remove the A-pillar and splice the wires of the dome light?

route the wires under the carpet, up to the fuse box in the center console, tap into the fuse with an add-a-fuse kit, make sure it goes to the interior lights, or the headlights (so, they come on when the lights do)

Or wire it up on it's own circuit and add a microswitch somewhere to turn it on when the door is opened. Or possibly wire it into the factory door open switch; it's already part of the circuit

Satoshi is tha man just buy some universal door sill's of allu or just buy some allu at the DIY store and take you're dremel and dremel out what ever you like if you are a real cool guy you ofcours dremel out Type-R or something or V-Tech but I'm not cool so I just stick with TRD or Celica or Toyota

I got 2 boxes full of em just got em from China from the factory.. they were meant for my casemodding store but I could sell em to you if you want

lol, you mod cases too?? nice!
