Are you talking about having the lights shine on the inside of the handle towards the car or on the outside like side mirror lights?

it could be reflecting on the door handle well meaning the small light will have to be on the inside part of the moving half of the door handle OR it could be on the fixed half and have a bright shine towards the ground.

if you click the first picture it will send you to a link to a kit to do that. althought it won't be the cleanest install IMO, it gets the job done

yeah the led strip is too big for my plans. i was thinking more of a small bright led for each door handle or something like a very bright led and a single fiber optic (or similar nylon thread) would be channelled to each of the 4 door handles. with the fiber optic idea, there would only be 1 bright source of light and only the fiber or nylon thread would be lined to go to each door handle. of course this is just an idea. i am unsure if it would be possible to do that.
