Has anyone installed the Electroluminescent door sills?

I just bought a set of the EL door sills but I have no idea where to wire them to. Does anyone on here know?

the black wires into the door switches, located on the centre pillar, towards the bottom. For the second wire, red, it went into the fuse box, on the left kick panel. I found a live socket in there and soldered the wire in. there is a TON of excess wire. it is bundled up, and under the dash.
It took about 3 hours to install.

Did you just wire them to one door button?

no, each side is wired to the door button.

Another Edmonchuk! Welcome, and make sure you check out the local crazies

Where did you pick up the door sill? I have to admit, this is one item I'd still very much like to add to my car.

Thanks for the welcome. I got mine from Kramer Mazda in Calgary.

Do you happen to have a part number? I'll have to see what kind of price I can get them for at work...

Andrea, i'd be surprised if you can still get through your dealership. whatever is being sold now are likely just the "leftovers". when i got mine last fall, they were the last set from Sundance, and i was told they would not bring more in. if you need a set, go the Kramer.
