Illuminated door sills
So I just installed illuminated door sills on my 911S, took 10 min per side and the results look great!! they come in 3 different colors, white, red and blue, since my car is red mine are red, in the pictures they look white for some reason but they are an exact match to my car's red paint, here are some pics! Cost was half of what I could find them on any site or Ebay!!! just over $200. very good deal and very good look!

I ran a small cable to the floor courtesy light, so the sill turns on and off with the cars interior lights, I just had to peel back the weather seal, ran the cable under it and placed the seal back, the cable is so thin it doesn't even affect the seal, then I just zip tied the cable to the courtesy light cable (The one that illuminates the pedals and floor area on the car) and used one of those "Clamps" that unite the cables together (Not sure what they are called, but it came with the Kit) and that was it, the sill is held to the floor with a strong 3M double sided tape and it goes right over your original sill, so you don't even have to remove it, very easy process.

Here are some pics of the install process.... sorry not very good with a camera, I used the creditcard to get the weather seal over the carpet again.

Hi Raiders, not sure, call Jerry, however I don't think so, as you can see mine is a carrera S and had to do just carrera on the sills, I may be mistaken... so just shoot him an Email or call him, he's a really nice guy and replies to all emails quickly.... even late at night....

Just a heads up, those Scotch tap in connectors are not very reliable. If the light ever goes out suspect those first. You are better off just stripping the wire back and twisting the wire onto it then soldering or even taping and ty rap the tape when done.
Looks great though.

Lifted the weather seal and ran the cable under the seal and then replaced, the cable is thin enough to go under the seal without affecting it, just make sure you run the cable that comes from the sill, not the extension, otherwise you'll end up with the connector on the wrong side of the car (on the outside) the extension should start running once the connector is gone into the car under the weather seal.

Also, the passenger side. Pull the entire lamp out, like you're replacing the bulb, remove the black plastic cover that begins when the glove compartment ends and run the cable trough there and out the hole where you pulled the lamp out , once there connect as you did driver side and place the lamp back and you're done
