lighting gurus need help with burtman industries sills
so i just ordered some of these bad boys (along with a new steering wheel cover and waiting on the carbon fiber door pillars) and i am looking for a way to make the 4runner cut out glow when the doors are opened like in a benz. if anyone has any ideas on how to do this it would be great. i was thinking of raising them up a tiny bit and putting like a low profile srip of lights/leds around the logo and then hooking them up to the door open/close light. lets here your guys ideas
thanks

You could also run some fiber under it and have a color wheel to make it what ever color you wanted. Search the web I'm sure you could find something that would work.

i noticed that how you described it, the letters are cut out. On the sills, the letters are actually sandblasted in the stainless steel, so raising the sill and putting leds under it would only light the outer edges of the entire piece

ohh so they are not cut all the way through? darm that would have looked killer. maby like the guy above said just light up underneath them so the outter edges glow and maby if its thin enough the 4runner light up

As always, 4Runner owners have great ideas.

If you had a few hours to kill one afternoon, and had a dremel or rotary tool handy, use a very small cut off wheel to trim the insides of the letters out. It would take alot of time, but you could end up with the results that you are looking for.
