Does anyone know which are brighter in that aspect? the clear acrylic with blue or the blue acrylic with super white?
Is there any way to get them to light up just when the locks pop up and down? What wire would that be if so?
This is from Shawn of SuperFa in a similar post:

Remove the front door sills and "B" pillar covers. They just pop off.
Get a spool of wire and fish one wire through the rubber boot in the front of the front drivers door. Window should be up to allow access to the boot. Use a butt connector or tape to join this wire to your lock hot wire. Route the wire on the outside of the door frame just under the clear plastic liner (you don't want the wire under the window...it may pull out. Don't ask how I know). Ground the lock to the same location as shown in the instructions. Button up the door, and cut the other end of the wire with enough slack to run under the dash to the console.
Move to the rear drivers door and do the same as above. once you have the wire fished through the boot, run the wire down the "B" pillar and along the front door sill to the wire you ran for the drivers door in the front drivers kick panel. Tap into the front door wire and move to the other side of the car.
Move to the other side of the car and do the same.
After you're done you'll have (2) hot wires at the front kick panels with enough slack to reach the console. Use a fuse tap and get your power from the fuse box under the front drivers side dash. Run all three wires to the center console (plenty of nooks and crannies to hide the wire under the dash).
Use a wire to ground for the switch on an E-Brake mounting bolt and plug in the switch. Click click...you're ready to go.
You can also use the same switch and power supply for our new matching shifter bezel set for manual and auto shifters (I'll have pictures up soon...they are amazing).
We're doing an install on one of our cars tommorrow, so I'll make sure and take pictures and post them here.
Good luck with the install, and if you have any problems feel free to call me at 352*223*6029. My name's Shawn, and I'm always happy to help.

I don't think I would roll with them on all the time.

I have mine running on a seperate switch, I can turn them off when I'm driving, because I have the Clear with Blue & they are very very bright. But like Nate said, get the colored version with the White LEDs, or maybe SuperFa will do custom orders with colored & colored LEDs. That would cut the brightness down alot, esp. on red or orange.

My concern...
These are wicked....
My concern though would be whether or not they're legal... After all, unlike shift bezels and floor lighting they are clearly visible from the vehicle exterior and there are laws about what colors are legal to be that visible from the exterior... not to mention those laws vary from state to state LOL.

This is a picture of the red mounted on an auto shifter. This is a test piece and is not finalized yet...

You'd think with all the off-road use only products on my other car it'd be a truck, but it's just a very illegal Mustang.
Actually she had a police in Tampa stop her after a car show recently because she forgot to shut down her flashing underbody lights...he told her to shut them down then commented on how cool the locks were (my wife is very bold and did not shut them off...I woulda). I was behind her watching in my truck thinking she was gonna get a ticket, but she didn't.
One way to minimize the light is to lock the doors after you enter the car. I think the locks look better in the lowered position. Combine that with tinted windows and you have a very soft lighting effect from outside the car.
