I had a bit of free time earlier today and I thought I would fix my passenger side footwell light. Long story short, some time ago I had installed footwell lights, but for the front only. A couple of weeks back, my passenger side light strip was kicked off, and never seen again (I don't know how that happened). Anyways, I went out today and bought some more LED modules to replace that missing one and since I had a few modules spare, I thought I would finally put some in the back which I had previously neglected.

This is a pretty much useless addition to the car, but nevertheless it was something to fill in time, cure my boredom, and it barely cost anything to do. So this is the end result, just mind me cause I didn't vacuum the car before hand. Now the colour between the front and the back looks a little different on the photos, but in real life, they are both very, very close to the same colour (and if more white like the rear ones). It's just because the front and the back have different style LED's, and the camera somehow manages to capture the fine differences, together with the fact that there are more LED's at the front and the difference in brightness somehow affects it as well.

And with the dome light off, you can see that they are definitely footwell lights because it only lights that area up. If you were to have them on while driving, you get no glare and they are not distracting at all. I always leave the switch set so that they come on together with the dome light. I rarely find a need to over-ride that and turn them on just on their own. But if I had to, it would still be safe to drive with.

Great work as usual! +1 on how to DIY

also, is it just me or are these LED's brighter than your dome light?

[Ash85]

It looks really good and effective was of lighting up the footwells for really not much money.

[DJKOR]

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm a bit of an electronics nut and like the look of LED lighting. Plus I like to keep my car clean, so the lighting really shows.

As for a DIY, there is nothing much to it; plus I didn't take photos of the procedure and I'm pretty crap with written instructions. All I did was find where the dome light wiring terminated at the fuse panel behind the glove box then extended two wires from there to a switch that I mounted in the drivers side footwell. From there I just ran wires to each position where the LED's were to be mounted and then I connected it all up.

Well, the brightness of each footwell light in the front is equal in brightness to my dome light, and the fact that they sit close to the floor make it look even brighter. Because of this the camera auto exposes to the footwell lighting. Point and shoot camera limitations.

The dome light itself is actually fairly bright. It provides enough illumination to be able to read a refidex, etc. When I get the chance though, I am going to put in another LED set into the dome light to make it brighter.

can i please just ask where you mounted your rear footwell lights?

[DJKOR]

Before I had a look, I thought the lighting effect would turn out bad because I would need to mount the LED's really low which would not really light up much. Then when I actually had a look there, I couldn't believe how lucky I was when I realised that I could easily mount some LED's up high enough to sufficiently light up the footwell. On my seats, I have a storage pocket which sticks out by a small amount. This was the perfect area to place the LED strip:

nicely done Daryl ,i love the way ya tucked em up under the pockets.

some colored DIY perspex lenses could change the whole mood of the interior if ya got sick of white. ;)

thanks for that DJKOR ... that pretty much is a well written instruction IMO, just needed to have the photos to go with it... never the less THANKS again

aswell, where do you source your electrical parts? online or locally...

Yeah, I always tend to dive into things without taking photos, then once it's all done, realise that I should have.

As for my electronic parts etc, I usually find places online but if I don't have the patience, I just head into Jaycar.

[KevO]

awesome job on the footwell lights. im not really good at electrical stuff. wish someone could help me

[DJKOR]

I thought today I may as well take some photos. Unfortunately, the car park where I was wanting to take them was slightly occupied and I couldn't get any photos there. So instead, I thought I would try something different... and I think it failed.

Add on top of that the fact that I lack photographic skills, I'm not so creative, and I have a crappy camera, and well... this is the end result. Just a little too late int he afternoon as well. Oh well, better than nothing I guess:

[Evo7]

Awesome photos Daryl :D

i see you are trying to make up for not coming today ;)
