(I have it wired from the passenger door light into open air at the door hinge, then back into to the car, to a relay where it relays power to another circuit that powers the lights.)
If you do not mind, a simple walk through would probably suffice. Pictures would help me tremendously since I am more visual.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, worthless thread without pics.....
Here is the cool white LED gauge mod....looks worse in pics....for some reason when taking pics that bright spot shows but the light looks evenly distributed.

Here's my gauges. Out of all my little mods this is easily the most appreciated on the day-day basis.

Yea all you have to do is take your time find the wire that comes through the door under the dash that powers up your courtesy lights then bam you got power when you open doors to your led strips. Mine are all white I got one under dash, under seat facing forward, and rearweard towards the back.then a long one under the door to light up the ground. It actually really bright!!

Now that mod is cheap, but it's not really what I would call "EASY" takes some time to do that and you have to solder and crap. But the rewards are great though!! I still need to do this to my A/C controls. I hate that GREEN LANTERN CRAP....also the ignition switch needs to be changed from that GREEN THROW UP COLOR to blue!!

Just joking man.Also, I want that nozzles. I hate how sometimes the nozzles just got something stuck and just got 1 stream of water instead of 2.

I completely redid the interior of my truck with LED but haven't started on the Max yet. I'm kind of waiting till I find out how to do it and keep an effective dimmer. I do a lot of night driving and like to have my interior as dark as possible on long trips. was never able to achieve this with the truck. I'm also still in love with the instrument clusters lighting on my friends 91 Max. I may try to duplicate that instead.

haven't looked that far into it but its something along the lines of the dimmer not limiting the voltage enough to dim the LED's without them going out. it changes a little bit but not much.

The maxima does not have this problem.
