Ihad noticed that my Friends Volvo had these nice Reflector/Lights in
the DoorJam. I spent a few minutes considering how to add them to my
vanagon...
I think I can do it easily with LED - Hight brightness ones. Hooked up
on the Interior light circuit...

Tabe, that's very cool!

Where did you find the tape? Would like to have some. On a dark and
stormy night my red van turns black and is hard to see. Anything that
aids visiblility helps improve safety.
