Default Lights for the headliner handles

....ok so a lot of you clearly like the idea of having lights in the "oh-____" handles.
How many people would be interested in me making a kit with all the handles pre done, with a wire harness to quickly and easily install with directions?

were talking, no guess work. evrything is mapped out, you dont have to worry about screwing up your handles, in any color you want with a pre wired harness.

Whats it worth to you xA owners? Give me some pricing you would shoot for, but dont low ball. My electrical work is exceptional, it's what i do all day.

...heres an idea of what it would look like:



...i could also include dome light replacements...

Bradon-
i would be very interested in this. How did you hook yours up? What power do you tap? How does yours work? With a switch? I would totally be interested in this, just give me some more details.

I have my kit wired into the dome light circuit, with both front and rears replaced with blue LEDs as well. All of the lights illuminate whenever a door is open, and if i want to drive with them on i simply use the dome switch to turn them all on.

My harness would be very nice in the since that if any of the led strips ever burned out, each handle has a quick release harness so they can be removed on an individual basis. makes installation nice and clean while allowing for any future easy maintenance.

the kit would contain 4 handles pre wired with the led strips, a harness to be run within the headliner (would not require dropping the headliner), the taps for power/ ground, and detailed instructions. additional switches and etc could be added for additional costs.

Very cool.
I already have the LED Dome Light Kit for the Front and REar domes.
Is there another way to hook them up other than the harness to the dome light?

I'd buy this without hesitation, PLEASE KEEP ME ADVISED..
As far as a suggested price , I'd say in the range of $ 50 to 75 sounds OK. The higher you would need to go, the smaller the number of potential customers.
Thanks

depending on how many people i can get interested in the xA, i wouldnt mind moving onto the xb (slightly diff harness.)

Im also considering making a setup for the tC with new handles (since they have a flip down setup).

will keep all posted.
