Interior/Exterior Door Mod: LED Puddle Lights and Map Compartment Light
I'm getting orange to match the std lights 
I just thought it would be cool to have the footwells "glow" while driving and the std white light come on when you open the door. I think instead I'll just run the footwell strips to the line powering the center console light (the one underneath) and the std white light should wash it out when the door is opened
THis is all based on how bright the 4.7" strip is once I get it (ordered 4 this afternoon, 2 for the front footwells and 2 for the rear footwells which I'll try to mount under the seat)
Thanks

Would you be satisfied to have them go on with the dash lights (e.g. with the headlights)? They won't go off when you open the door, but then how often do you open the door with the headlights on? You can use the switch illumination power, which is a red/gray wire that you can find in the harnesses going to the stereo and the toggle panel.
Does anyone have tips on where to zip tie or mount the LED strips to the front footwells? I just wired them up and for right now just tucked them in the dash area but i cant see any good place to zip tie or mount with some silicon (like i did with the boot light mod)
There should be a metal bar that the knee bolster attaches to - the OEM white lamp housing is right there as well. I used zip-ties to secure my cathode bars. Crane your head up under there (better still - pop open the knee bolster) and I think you'll see what I mean...
