OK, so I saw this thread and decided I would do this mod. I bought my Max a little over a month ago and I thought that this is something I have to do. I am posting this reply for all 07-08 owners. . . .THIS MOD WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT EXTRA WIRING!!! The 07-08's are different from the 04-06 models in that the step lamps ONLY illuminate when the door is opened and NOT with the remote. I am researching if both models use the same BCM and if they do, can it be reset/programmed to work with the remote. I've already purchased everything to do the mod only to find this information out. If it cannot be reset/programmed, extra wiring will have to be run to make the LEDs operable. Needless to say, I'm very disapointed.

yea i believe its all wiring ran through the doors... and you just drill a whole in the handle and wire the led through there... i like the modd alot but probably wont be tempting it... you can run the wires through your speaker tubing into either the fuse box or even ur courtesy lights... also... what ppl are meaning by remote is when you unlock your car doors your domes, door lights and usually all interior lights turn on... so you just find which one you want and wire it to that... very easy modd to wire up... good luck to all who try this!

go to autozone, they have the 4 pack leds there. I have had mine installed since the day after I first saw this post back in April and no probs yet. This is a very hot mod and gets lots of attention. really doesn't take too long either. As I mentioned earlier you can also do the interior led mods too. Link is in my last post on this thread.

I think someone had saw it on a BMW or a Benz, because I know the lights on one of those are aimed downward to the ground and they fade in and out. It's pretty cool to see on a Max too.

this is a very easy install and if you follow the instructions you shouldn't mess it up. The only thing I could see someone messing up is drilling. Take your time and do it right. Push too hard with drill you might crack it. Worst case you have to buy a new door handle. Being that it is a two part handle it probably won't cost all that much. Might come unpainted though. Then you have to figure that all out. Yea just be careful. You can allways have someone you trust do the install. This mod is about as easy as they get. I swear this took about 10-15min a door. Spending about 9-14 of those minutes taking the door apart.
