DIY on how to do this simple little mod but looks REALLY fantastic in person. If you need something feel free to ask

You will need
1) 4x 3mm LED color of your choice (i chose led and looks awesome)
2) 450ohm resistor
3) 2,5mm drill bit
4) 6M red/black wire (for 4 door handles)

First of all remove the door handle :
Pull out and down from somewhere near the RED arrow to realease the clip. Then pull up to release clip which
is where BLUE arrow shows. Once you done all that push in the direction
of the GREEN arrow. Do that for all four door handles.

Time to make the holes. Using a drill or a powerfull screw driver with this bit

Now time to connect the leds. Using this diagram will help you connect the leds to make them power up.

Make sure you solder the wires and then use heatshrinks to make sure that the connections will stay.

If you make it right you should have something like this

You will probably need around 700 ohm resistor. Ask the guys from your local electronics store to tell you the right resistor! Post some pics when its done ;)
