Just put my one handle into my EF Futura and have fallen in love with the look.
In FM1 there was a doco re adding LEDs into chrome handles. Question is can anyone give me instructions or point me to where this doo is? |

New: $200 for the 4 from ford; so yer $50 each last i heard.
Call around many will do it cheaper. Also wreckers would be cheaper again, but its often VERY hard to foind the handles *without* the trims.. Just get new, so tight, shiney and polished, nicer than old worn out ones.

My mate picked up a set from the wreckers for 60$ and mine was $15.
EDIT: They actualyl tried to tell me taht it came from the rear of the Fairmont Ghia thereofre they would have to charge me more. That worked until I burst put laughing and told them no. |

Its not hard to do the LED mod, neo nick has done it to his and my cars; the LED needs to sit in the top of the handle, closest to the corner that would (when fitted in the car) be towards the front end; if that makes no sense, im talking about the side of the handle that opens up, not where the hinge is.
Just drill a hloe wide enough for it and glue it in place with a hot glue gun! Wire it up to the door lamps n ur set.
