If you tuck some screen spline (the stuff from screened in enclosures) into the grooves on the outside of the leather inserts, they sit better, stay better and ... IMHO ... look better.

The spline is black and you can get it from any Home Depot. I need to take some updated pics of my interior with the inserts done ...

You made a switch to act. the leds or you have it hook on to the headlight switch? I'm thinking of hooking it up to the headlights switch. I need to get it put in place b/c my mom kept having problem opening the door.

Power from the battery, All the leds are wired up in many diff wires which connect to one main wire which then goes to the small switch I have. The leds have a small box on them which takes care of the led not blowing out because they cant get direct power and ground.

You use your existing trim pieces for the surround on the handle

the black thing gets covered by the plastic piece behind the handle. Where my led is that whole piece covers up that black part. The black part is what gets bolted on to your door. the stock ones are black 2. Its very easy to install them. Took me about 3 min to install and put back my door. make sure you keep check it to make sure they work correctly. I love your engine bay. I have my mevi polised with my front valve cover and some other stuff like the timing chain cover case and the a/c lines. Im not sure yet what im planning to do with my car Im leaning more towards selling it and getting an LS1 99 camaro v8 6speed mt.

You sure have a lot going on there. Tan doors, Chrome handles, (fake) wood window switch trim, little blue lights everywhere, darker brown insert above armrest, brushed aluminum below, black tweeter.

To me, there is nothing like all-black.
