Learn how to install LED lights in the doors of the Opel Astra J: using a plastic spatula (to avoid scratching the door), remove the door handle of the driver's side. Underneath, you will find three screws that need to be removed to take off the handle.

Now you can remove the frame supporting the handle; consequently, the window control panel will also come off. Disconnect the electrical connector, identifying the connectors on the driver's side and the passenger's side, as highlighted in the video.

In the connectors, you can insert the LEDs of your chosen colour, then simply reassemble all the door components and the light will shine through them, creating a very pleasant effect throughout the interior.
