I just ordered my illuminated sills and got them in. It was pouring down rain today and had nothing to do and decided to install them myself. I was a bit nervous only because this car has so much technology and airbags etc. I just took my time and knew I had everything I needed to do the install. I removed all the paneling illustrated. The only thing that I was confused about was the wiring leading to the light sills. One wire lead was much shorter than the other. I figured out immediately that the short sided wire lead to the driver door sill and the full length wire lead to the passenger side and must be done behind the carpeted area. I did have a line puller to pull the wire through the back of the center stack rear area. I can see where a wire hanger can do the same job. I did make a misjudgement on connecting the wires to the above lighted panel and the connector I put on sliced through the wire instead of just splicing into it. I was pissed as where I connected it was just a bit too close to the terminal connector. Fortunately I had just enough lead wire and was able to solder on to it! Don't make my mistake. Give yourself as much wire to work with in case the wire is cut. Bottom line, it works and I love the add on and don't want to do anything like that again anytime soon! Only thing else I have done to my car was to add a JL amp and 12 Sub-woofer and it matches the sound of the car wonderfully!
