I didn't think I had them either, turns out the bulbs were just burnt out. I think the light in the handle is the reflection of my flash. But thanks for the mod idea. Now I'm going to go nuts trying to figure that out.

On a side note, in taking the bulbs out of the center console I noticed the flat metal wires that the bulb comes in contact with kinda fell apart. Any ideas on how to fix that or would it be easier to just replace?

I wonder if we can induce pics and a description of the mod?


Note to TXtinct: hint, hint.....
I found this thread that talks about them... maybe a part number as well?

I'd be interested to know what he used for the light fixture, too. It needs to not only hide, but be impervious to fingers/fingernails as one uses the handle, and to be waterproof. Since a new hole in the door is likely, it needs to seal so that it's not the next new place to want to rust.
