That's getting a bit ricey or homey for that matter, don't you think??? Does look interesting though, maybe when you open the door or something to illuminate the ground so you don't step in something...

That's exactly what it does - goes off when you close the door but on as soon as u unlock! That's with a slight delay so the effect is a little more lasting - very nice. You know I wouldn't do the Fast N'Furious-type lights on mine Jimmy........

The top pic is a Brabus kit but costs $$$$$. I can get a non-tuner kit called "De Illuminator" for US$230 (5 lights on each side) - works just the same. I'm doing this for the benefit of those who can't get a hold of the De Illuminator and don't wanna pay big bucks for the Brabus.

Have fun this weekend and don't forget the rods (and Viagra), LOL!

Doc, tried but couldn't find De Illuminator anywhere except in local car magazines. If you want them, I could send a set to you (assuming they are much cheaper than that Brabus kit) or if someone from So Cal visits HK anytime soon. the advertised price is HK$1,800 (I coudl try squeeze for more discount as with most things here).

Jimmy, show us your ladies!
