Doorhandel lights
-
@a49410ec85=djmarcopolo:
just to cheer you up, you will find the Mk2 MX-5 1998-2003 has the same door handles as ours and a lot of them have the lights in them too :bigok:
Is this one ??
It looks like a small bulb on top.
How could I recognize them?
-
nobody can answer? Perhaps Josh since you did all the research
-
It appears that that one is. See on the left side of the handle at the top the square box, that is what you are looking for. Just like this one.
the handles that take a light bulb will be cast aluminum and have this box in the back. BUT only the drivers side. the passenger side, in order to be functional, will have to be cut out to use.
back of passenger side.

Let me know what more info you need… I have a set of these in my parts boxes... just haven't had time to install them yet! 8)
And if I remember correctly, the RHD Driver's side and Passenger Side can both take these lights. When I bought mine I got both sides but only the Driver's had the light. So I've been looking for another set so I can put lights in both sides. They are definitely heavier (made of metal).

I would like to see any picture of an illuminated key hole ring. That would be something special.
-
Well now you've got me all motivated to finally work on this. I pulled my handles out of the box that I got back in 2011 from Eddy_B on this forum.
I just bought another RHD driver's side off of ebay.co.uk with the light… once it comes in I will start on the project and see where it goes. I'm also trying to incorporate the aftermarket CF shells for the top and bottom of the handle. It would be cool to have those on top and the aluminum backing behind for support! Plus the lights on both sides would be sick! 8)

I agree, i will be patiently watching. I think the best way to hook them up to the alarm system which i do not have one at this point.
-
Mine is hooked up to the alarm system, I love it. Took a pic for you Josh:
-
Mine is wired to the ignition barrel light so you can see where to put the key in without the lghts on, you just lift the drivers handle and all the lghts come on in the equipe
-
That is classy!

I'd love to see a picture of that. Could you post one?
-
You wont see much lol, also the flap on the front to stop rain entering is made of clear plastic so it lights up, just lift the door handle the light coms on to find the keyhole and it lights up the ignition barrel, been thinking about running it to another relay so the interior lights come on too
-
mine also have the same light overthere. when I lift it goes on, and only on the drivers side. cool thing by the way
-
Will you sell it to me :respect:
-
Mine was linked to the alarm so when you pressed the keyfob the keyhole ring would light up. It was a 1994 Special Edition.
-
I think the SE does as well.
-
But WHO has one for sale ?
