Those flame sconces are pretty cool. It's funny that you mention them. My mom is doing the costumes for the local high school production of Beauty and the Beast, so she had my dad take apart a set of battery powered ones for the candleholder character. The housings they come in are pretty bulky, but it would be entirely possible to mount them on your pillars. Be warned; the fans are kind of noisy.

The LED door handles are pretty basic, the most difficult part is drilling the holes at the right angle. I also managed to break 2 of the handles when I was taking them out (you want to pull straight out from the side with the round peg/clip. don't force it!).

I myself took that idea from a website about someone's bB. Check it out here: http://www.impression-cba.com/my_bb/process10.htm

You broke 2 of em" ? Hmm.. maybe i have to take a good look at it before i take it out. There should be a catch or something holding the handles tight right ?

I have to give you props on the handy work, but it's a little gawdy for my taste. Good work though!

I'm a big fan of lighting, but i think those sconces just look nasty. Get the crystal shower ***** for the AC and it would look just like a bathroom...

Sorry to sound so harsh, but i can't even play it off. I guess I prefer lighting to be more covert than that.

Default Where can we get them?

For those of us who do like the accent lighting.....where can we get them? I have an overhead DVD system for the back seat, so I lost my dome light......the sconces would be a great accent to add the overhead lighting back to my vehicle. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!
