The back one are NOT different from the front, they're just wired to light up.... and in actuality.. with a little work it looks as if the rear ones could be wired as well... hmmmm... And i wouldn't compare the color to the bright green ring around the keyhole like Kpazzo said.. It's in between the greenish color from the bose display... and the blue in the ring around the speedo and tach.. The indiglo matches the lighting of the car though.. it looks sooo nice.... I'll take pics

I found them on E-bay for $85. Has anyone found them for less??? The AE ones are only $50. The price differance is significant and they both look classy if you ask me. I want to get them. I know the indiglo ones will get much more attention though ( as well as compliments )

Could i have made a better choice in getting AE door sills vs. my Indiglo... The answer is NO! my sills look SOO clean, like they came with the car. Everybody that gets into my car likes them. I don't like the chrome look of the AE sills anyways. The indiglos have a Stainless Steel/ Chrome look, which is a better contrast in my opinion. If anyone wants any info on where/how/ how much it costs to get the INdiglos, email me, and I'll let ya know.

Rear Indiglos

Has anyone made the rear ones light up??? It seems to me like the only way for that to work would be to order another pair, pull off the plastic off and switch it with the new sills lighting.
Let me know if anyone else thinks of a way to do it. I don't know enough about electrical stuff to think of a better way. Since i dont know if the back ones have the "indiglo" just dont have a power source.
Let me know
Thanks!
Also I clicked on the link above for the instructions and I think the instructions are diffrent for the 2k2. I did not use my fuse box at all just the switch and the wire with the white strip.

At first I liked the indiglo sills, and I still think they look ok. I'm gonna go for the AE though. There is a guy on the .ORG who was selling a set of the illuminated sills. They were brand new unused/unopened for $70 shipped. Same ones sold on EBay. If anybody is interested, I can try to dig up his member name, and refer him to you. I don't know the guy at all, so no idea if he still has them, or what...

Actually what I was thinking of doing was buying another set. Remove the silicone off the front ones then doing the same with the my current rears then just switching the plastic. then just ground to the switch and connect to the right wire. Am I wrong??
Let me know
Thanks! [/QUOTE
Might work, I dont really know, but if you try it, let me know how it goes. Good luck!
