I think the Opel light thing is tacky myself... A proper puddle light like what @rusty2009 has would be good though or even those mirrors lights

Nope just checked and I've ever had from you is a notification you tagged me today.

Let me try and find the thread I made about these lights, it was a bit of an arse to do as you have to remove the door cards and wing mirrors etc.
https://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-LED...hts-fitted


There you go.

I don't have the car anymore but I can try and talk you through if you have any questions although all the pics I took are in that thread as is a bit of a how to.

Cheers

That vid is near enough how I did it apart from I chose to run my wires down from the interior light fitting, down the A pillar and out though the door loom grommet.

Iirc the loom runs up the a-pillar and across but it is taped up quickest is to run from the light.
