Front & Rear Footwell LED's/Glove Box LED
Finally finished my foot-well LED's. The front were kind of easy to install. The backs were a b*tch, due to having to do extra wiring. I tapped into the courtesy lights in the a-pillar. For the rears i ran wires from the same courtesy wire and ran down the seat-belt pillar, under the carpet, cut a small slit by the back of seat & pulled wire up through the floor. I put female quick connect/disconnects on the wiring & male connect/disconnects on the actual LED strip. This allows me to change/swap out strips with no problems & with very little effort. I then had to run wires for the passenger side under the headliner and down the seat-belt pillar on the passenger side. Here are pics of the final results: (They look alot brighter in the pictures)

I had extra pieces of LED strip so i soldered in some new wires and installed it in my glove box. Here are the pics:

Thanks for all the compliments. If you look at the pictures of the rear LED's, on the passenger side in the corner, you can see a black wire coming from the floor/carpet. That is the 2 wires wrapped in electrical tape that connect to the LED strips, to give you an idea if anyone plans on doing the rears. Also the strips are held in place with 2 black zip ties. One on each end.

I'm sure its been done. You have to find a constant power source. One constant power source is the cigarette lighter underneath the climate control. For the rear you can use the accessory outlet above the cup holders on the floor.

I had blue in mine for ambient lighting but it was too much so I cut the wire, lol.
I never did anything for when I open the door since this mod, because it's crazy bright already:
