thanks for the quick response. i was able to figure that part out, unfortunately i cant figure out how to get to the wires under the glove box where the footwell light is?? BTW Jerry was able to make me sills that had Carrera S.

Also when you stuck the sills on the existing ones, did the original sills push on the back of the led ones?

thanks

Look at my other reply for passenger side connection, I replied right after previous one , As far as push back, no, not really, r u sure you don't have excess cable tangled up underneath the sills? The led's get stuck on the sill themselves with the peel away adhesive, then the carrera sign sticks to then led's then the whole thing to the actual original sill.

Thanks martidamm. Once I found where everything was it took 15 minutes to install. Jerry was awesome to work with and the quality is really great. He costume made Carrera S sills for me a shipped FAST.

Now I just need to update the interior lights to white LEDs.

Srry for the iPhone photo but it looks awesome!!!

Installed the white LED lights and it really changes the feel of the car, it looks really modern and edgy. Now the sills match all the others!!!

Also spent the whole day washing, clay and waxing.
Feels like a brand new car!!!
