REQUEST: Footwell LED wiring DIY

I installed white LEDs under the dash when I installed the illuminating kick plates. But mine run off the kick plates so they only go on when my door opens.

I installed white LEDs under the dash when I installed the illuminating kick plates. But mine run off the kick plates so they only go on when my door opens. The easiest way would probably be to splice the power wire going to one of the outlets and then add a switch. I know its not going to turn on with your head lights but it is alot easier. You might be able to find the wire that goes from your head light switch to your head lights but that would be to much for me. Then again I am not a fan of me personally doing electrical things to my car.

If you want them to come on with your interior lights, just run a wire up your A-pillar and tuck it behind your headliner going to the overhead lights in the center. Pop all the regular interior lights out and the center housing and splice into the wires there.

You don't need to pull off the A-pillar or headliner either. Just use a screw driver to push the wire behind them. Run it down the molding by the door and down behind the carpet to your footwell lights. DONE!
