Step 1. Remove door panel shown HERE (http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41920)

Step 2. Remove all the rods going to the door handle only
Use a flat head screw driver, panel remover or small
pry bar to remove rods. CAUTION: be careful
you do not snap the clips holding the rods in.

Step 3. Take a 10MM socket or nut driver and remove the nut
holding the bracket that is holding the door handle in
and remove the door handle from the outside of
the door.

Step 4. Find where you want to mount your LED. I put mine
toward the back of the handle. Then drill a whole through
the back of the door handle, that will accommodate the
size LED you have. Also It is a good idea to drill or cut a
slightly larger hole on the inside of the outside handle.
This will make room for the handle to clear the LED. I
hope that made sense. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH THE
OUTSIDE OF THE HANDLE!. Be careful when you do this.
Tip: Make sure the LED is pre-wired. also I used silly-
cone to mount and provent water from gettin in

Step 5. Reinstall door handle and run power and ground wire into
the car

Step 6. You can wire them up any way you want. I happened to
wire mine to the lights in the rear view mirror. This way
they go on and off when i hit my remote. there are 3
wires behind the mirror. the one with the strip is positive.
the other 2 are gnd.

hope this helps. any questions please PM me
