Interior/Exterior Leds under front seats

Leds under front seats
Hi all! I am planning on replacing my footwell, dome, and boot lights with leds in the next few weeks and i want to also add them under my front seats so they shine on the floor in the backseat. I have already figured out my wiring plan for the front footwells (3 different colored strips each controlled by an independent switch see attached) and the dome light (dummy bulb since I cant fit three different colors up there ). But I was wondering how to run the wires back to the boot and to under my seats (physically not electrically) without ripping out my interior. I have an '03 MCS and I was wondering if any of you out there have done it.
Thanks

I don't understand the question? You mean do my under-seat LED's interfere with seat movement? If that's the question, no. The wiring for the LEDs is zip-tied to the wiring that's already there for the seat belt sensors, airbag sensors, etc. There's sufficient loop there to allow the seats to move as one would expect.
You'll want to have plugs for your LED lighting so you can unplug them just like all the other seat connections - so the seats can be removed easily if required for service.

I've swapped plugs a couple of times - don't recall what's in there now. Maybe a DC power-type inline plugs. Looks like you could do yours with a four-conductor plug on each seat (because you can use a common ground for everything). Radio Shack is your friend.
No panel removal required - but you have to do some prying to get under the edges of the door sills. everything else is pretty easy. It DOES help to remove or at least unfasten the center console trim.
