If it were me I'd run the cables under the door seal, under the black trim to the front of the door, into the rubber sheathing that carries the varies the cables into the door pocket and splice off the door light. That way they will only come on when the door is open ;).
I umm'd and ahh'd about the LED sills for ages but decided against it... will be cool to see how they actually look fitted without any photoshopping lol. Good luck.

I mean pass the LED sill wires through that rubber sheathing into the door and splice it in behind the door card - so you can easily find the right wire ;)

Finally done, just soldered straight on, had to trace back wires from door light and switch, to eventually figure out which wire was right out of the 50 or so all running together along the door, the problem was getting it to light up but getting the right wire so it turns off when the door closes, however they're well worth it.
