@ srt666-
Mine are the white. The LEDs appear to be hyper white. So they have a slight blue tint to them. Scroll down here for a pic of them at night.

Last week, I took my Crossfire down to KPI to have the sills installed. Last time I had been there, I had only seen the prototypes. The finished version did not disappoint at all! Stephen and Dave began setting them up right away. They came out great,But due to time constraints, I had to leave for work before they could complete the install.
Stephen really wanted to get them done for me asap, So he offered to come up to my house(over an hour away) to finish them up. I instead suggested that they could meet me at work later that evening if they preferred. Since the drive would be much shorter!
Shortly after arriving at work, Dave called me to let me know he was on his way. Once he arrived, Dave went right to work!
The outcome is beautiful and tasteful in my opinion. After living with them for just over a week now, I get tons of compliments and questions. In fact, An SL500 owner parked next to me the other day and when he saw the sills he just had to know where to get a set. You should have seen the look on his face when I told him the illuminate as well! I personally, Could not be happier!

So thank you very much to Stephen,Dave and the rest of their family! I couldn't be happier with the product itself nor the excellent service and attention to detail provided by everyone at KPI.

For those wondering..I went with the white lighting. It has just enough of a blue tint at night that it matches the SSB color very well. A few pics taken with my iphone below...

well, got my lighted sills in yesterday. I like them, just "Crossfire", in white. For installation orientation, the youtube vido is most helpful. took me about an hour because the ground is a brown with yellow stripe wire. unfortunately there are at least 3 of those in the harness, kept going back and forth with the two I found, then realizing there must be another in there somewhere. I'll assume that most harnesses are the same, so don't use the 2 most easily found, but the one buried deeper in the middle and on the red wire with gray stripe(power) side. It's more brown with a thin yellow stripe.

It's hard to get the sills back on tight as the clips are weird. Two will stay on the car, two will be on the sill when you pop it off. The overlay sticks down well, but there's some give and it's hard to get them snapped in tight. the overlay also is a bit loose, big, whatever, over the back carpeting side, so I may end up with putting some thin tape behind that to just firm it up a bit.

2 suggestions for later iterations. 1) make the lit area, and the lettering a bit bigger. It looks fine, just a little small and underwhelming in my opinion, but they are well lit. 2) make the front lip a bit longer so that there's a strip of polished dropped down a bit and covers the exposed body strip right below it. would look just a bit more finished and solid IMO.

other than that they are well made and I like them.

Thank you very much for your feedback! Would love to have some photos if you care to send any in to me at Stephen@windrestrictor.com

I messed around with an install a few weeks back and could not find the proper brown/yellow wire. If anyone ever experiences this please pop out the dome light and see the exact 2 wires that you need. For some reason they may have shot the wires down the other side of the car on a production run. Regardless you will see the wires coming off of the dome light and those are the 2 you need for sure. Here's a few photos of some custom FLAMES we did on door sills recently.

Write me if anyone has any questions on how to order or needs assistance! Have a good weekend everyone!

My roadster is different than the coupe wiring. I had to go to the dome light and run a two cond cable down to the pass.side floor. It was much easier than hunting for wires you can't find.

I assume you were responding to my post above steve, in particular? I'll try and get some shots and send them to you. they do look nice, so please don't get me wrong.

The brown with the yellow stripe wires are a devil to get straight. :) That's why I posted that there is another one buried in the middle of the harness and with a bit of digging one can get that out. I did however become quite good at using the connectors on the wrong wire, reopening them, closing them on another wrong wire , reopening them etc etc. :) The correct one is brown with a thinner yellow stripe. the other two have thicker yellow stripes, so I called that one the baby garter snake, versus momma and papa garter snake.

Are you talking about the blue tap-it connectors? If so, I hope you resealed the wire insulation when you removed the connector from the wrong wire. If not, could be trouble down the road. Those connectors would only be used on my car is they were the last ones on earth, and then I would hesitate.

Re: KPI Custom lighted door sills available now!
 
yep, those are the ones james. I hate them too. I did wrap the ones I didn't use in electrical tape afterwards. My favorite connectors are the posi-loc's but they are pricey, but almsot indestructible. Unfortunately, due to the cost, you can't seem to easily find them any longer

James1549 06-10-2011 02:26 PM

Re: KPI Custom lighted door sills available now!
 
I have found the best way to repair wire insulation is with "liquid electric tape". Also you can rub some silicone in the insulation as well to prevent corrosion in the cut down the road.

Re: KPI Custom lighted door sills available now!
 
James, I've never heard of that "liquid insulation", sounds like a good idea. I work alot with tapping in wires and i hate having to use those clamps also.
