Nice! Those airbag lights really look the part, where they hard to install and do they shine in white too?

Thanks. Yeah it adds that little bit of luxury. Probably get the m performance floor mats to compliment the sills

Unfortunately there was no connector behind the paneling. Like in the link above I tapped off the led lights in the rear door from the rear door harness. The wires are easy identifiable in the harness

Ah, thanks. Would you happen to have a picture of how much dimmer the rear door lights became after adding the B pillar lights?
