Note the Chrysler version is NOT LED. Appears to be electroluminescent. Whatever it is, it runs on AC power (not DC like LED's), which is why there's a transformer as part of the kit.

If your guy is doing these in LED, no doubt it can be done for much less than EL, BUT it won't have the same look to it. LED's will have a more harsh light to them (perhaps desirable?) than the "soft glow" of the Chrysler units, unless he's able to put a very good polarizing filter in there.

I REALLY like the idea of offering them in alternative colors though. I'm not generally a "green" fan, but I might pick up a set if they can be done with a matching "soft glow" and a color that's close to the dash lighting.

cool. ESPECIALLY if you used an EL panel that runs on same voltage as the factory ones, then I could swap sills as mood changes. I'd probably buy a couple different colors if that were the case!

Oh, and my offer to sell him my stock sills (for prototyping or whatever) still stands. Have him make an offer.

Woot! there seems to be a ton of people VERY interested! He sent the design into the engineering department and we will just be waiting for them to figure everything out... this could take some time for them to design it... but its worth it for the price saved!!!
