Default Thinking about LED Lights..

So I bought some nice new gas and brake pedals today. It made me start thinking about customizing my interior a bit. I'm thinking about buying some blue LED lights for the floorboard. Does anyone know anything about what it takes to install those bad boys? What do they plug into? Do you have to drill holes for 'em? Thanks in advance.


And oh yeah, it's a 2001 V6.

Sounds a bit ricey, but I guess there are places that sell all sorts of stuff like that, including install instructions.

Check Ebay, you can buy a dozed for like 3 bucks. Power and ground is it, preferable to a switch. And, yes, you have to drill holes. I know some may think it is ricey, but I dont have dome light in the vert, and needed something to find stuff at night. I chose red for mine.

Ask yourself, who do you hang out with? In some crowds, LED lights is like wearing a skirt.

My friend did it in his camaro, as said above, just make sure you power and ground it, he tapped his switch from the dome light fuse, so it comes on with the door opening...and there is tape for them, but please screw em down to save yourself some headache...good luck

I already have blue L.E.D lights on my interior and exterior, and it looks great, so dont let others tell you differently. I just went up to Auto Zone and got mine. They are a flexible strip of L.E.Ds that stick to the dash. I just conected my power and ground wire to the battery and to the switch, and then spliced the ground and power for the lights into that. I put the strips under the dash for the floorboard, and one on the back of my center console to light up the back seat. I'll post up some pics later to let you see.
