LED door handle glow

A few months back, I ran across LED door handle lights, I know these would be near impossible to get to fit right (if at all) on our door handles... but I was thinking about just buying a small LED strip (most likely blue or white) and SOMEHOW mounting it inside the door handle, any suggestions or input? im just wanting a soft glow but I dont even know where to start, has anyone seen this done before? I dont even know if it would look good...

Car is black/black 2dr btw

\edit

somthing like this... only imagine it in that recess around the handle

there was actually a video of it. it turned on with the door/courtesy lights (i.e. when you open/unlock the door).


Please Email me At Richmax22@tmail.com Come on is only $25 dollars.
e-mail him to buy the kit, i guess.
