Signed on to add a second halo to my headlights since my tow lights are gone. Going to be intereting since it requires an additional projector lense.

Added LED strips to the footwell to replicate the illumination package on the jdm models. Hooked it up to where the lights only come on when the parking or headlights are on. I tried to get a picture of it with my phone but the camera quality sucked

You can tap into the wires underneath the dummy switches or if you have heated seats you can tap into the power source there too. since i had dummy switches i tapped into one of the unused wires underneath that area. The red wire is the one that only powers up when the parking lights turn on.

heres a pic of how everything looks underneath the cup holder/dummy switches


I used posi-taps to have a nice secure tap. real easy to use if you wanna go that route.
