Is anyone still making the LED kits for our cars?
I am talking about the ones for the interior door handles, cup holders etc.

Contact Marc (shakes26) on www.motorcitymarauders.com
The forum is Marauder Concepts.
I installed his kit but upgraded to larger / brighter LEDs for the door handles.

If he no longer makes the kit, let me know, maybe I can get some parts & instructions together.

Knowing your work, FBM, I'll bet you can knock a set together in no time.

I'll take pics of mine at night so you can see how bright they are.
I'll contact Marc and see if he'd be alright with me putting something together.

They look nice, it's what is missing from our interiors. The simple things like that are what I miss from my Mark 8.
I hate people clawing for the door handle in the dark!

I may be interested in some additional interior lights for the cup holder & door handles .

Here are the pics.
The original kit had 1mm LEDs, I believe, which was not enough light for me, so I upgraded the 3mm LEDs. You really can't make out the cup holder LED which is still the original one (smaller LED). I do plan on upgrading it to a 3mm.

By dome light I assume you mean the map lights in the overhead console?
To change the bulbs you need to pull down the overhead console.

Yep, got it from another thread that I needed to pull down on it hard... those clips are ridiculously strong. I'm not putting it back in until I have all the bulbs, I'll post some pics when it's done. :)

Cool!
I bought one of those kits from 'shakes and they are great.
There was also talk of making an LED kit to light the interior of the console storage compartment, but it never happened.
I'd be interested in another LED door handle kit for my Ranger. (same unlit handle problem!...:()
plus an LED console storage light kit.

Just waiting for the last of the parts to arrive. Then I need a donor MM to take pictures of the install (Marauderman).
