These are a dealer option? The only ones I've seen are the plain ones that say tc on them.

Price tag is steep

Yup, TRDSparks sells them @ 173 +sh I've been thinking of getting them too...

Jen (IntegreS_350) had them on her Tc back when she still had her car. I've only seen her car once in an SE meet and it looked pretty cool.

nice pics btw.. nice to see them on a tC for once.. though some daytime shots of it would be nice too.

the sills are illuminated using 2 side emitting plcc leds. though side emitting plccs are somewhat more difficult to find, it's not difficult to solder in regular plccs tilted on their side. lol.

now with pink.. leds in that color tend to fade over time. you can still do it and it'll look nice, but i can't say how well it'll last.

i can think of using a pink vinyl to lay on the background and then white leds to light them up... and also by doing that will also cause the sills to look pink-ish too when they're "unlit" (as in it's daytime and the led's brightness isn't lighting them up well)

well, it's not plug and play for any of them for even the other cars..

and even the factory led bar lights aren't plug and play either..

all tapping from power, but not difficult to install.

Default Door Sill Enhancements

Has anyone tried to take the basic ones without the lights and put some LEDs in it somehow? Maybe in the little dots along the way? It seems like this would be much cheaper and more unique. Let me know if this sounds reasonable whereas I may try my luck...
