    Hey fellas, anyone installed these? They sure look cool but I was wondering if they're real and how hard is to install them.

    Paying $236 for lights in your handles and cup holders is insane. The parts in the kit are probably totaling less than $20

    Sorry can't contribute to that....They do look cool but way to expensive for that look...and frankly I agree with Peterjmc....except I believe the parts cost much less than 20$ myself.

    I don't think it'd be that hard with just a few LEDs, some wire and a bit of creativity. The tricky part is wire routing and finding the right power source to tap. If it were me, i'd probably tap the footwell lights as a power source; then run wires to the doors and drill small holes in the plastic and mount the LEDs with a hot glue gun.

    That would look killer but as everyone else said.......too much $$$$ for some LEDs.

    I might just look into doing a mod like this myself. If I do I'll post results here.

    I'll probably end up doing something like this too :)

    I want them on the OUTSIDE door handles, not inside the car...

    I like the concept but agree with others that the price is way too high for just LEDs and wiring. Tapping into the footwells should be pretty straightforward (I did that for extending the LED lighting to the rear footwells).

    Yep, it's way to expensive. I was wondering if it was real too. That guy has lots of other mods for Prius but all of them way overpriced. I think they're all intended for the Japanese market and that's the reason.
