I read through the thread again and saw the new pics, looks great

Don't think these have been answered yet:

Are the lights always on, or only on when door is open? Is it hard to control this?

What happens when you need to change a bulb lol do you have to take off the skirts again?

It is powered to the rear dome light so if I click the on button the light goes on and if a light does go off I would have to take off the skirt again but replace ment is easy since each light is separated and only connected through a small wire

Looks great. If I were to perform this I would try to look for more elongated LED's for that area though. I'm not a fan of how the light is so concentrated and dotted. It probably looks better in person, but perhaps 3-4 of AZN's LED light bars would be better suited for this purpose?

At what location did you tap the wire? I know you said rear dome light, but where does your wire tap click in?
