I wanted to get blue dome lights and put some blue led's under the footwell just because I think it looks cool. I would not have these on while driving, it's just because i personally thing it's cool. Has anyone done this and for the lights under the footwell, how do I connect it to my power supply? Thanks

thats a pretty unique idea. You will probably be the 1st person to do that.

You can double check though by typing your keywords into the "Search" function.

Hahah obviously people have done it, I just wanted to get some advice from the other people on here. I just checked and my dome lights are bulbs so idk how i'd change that to LED without re-doing the whole thing..

I did all my interior & exterior lights in LED's, just believe blue LED's in the dome would look mucho GHEY!!!

Yeah I kind changed my mind about that but I think blue led's in the footwells could look pretty cool. Any idea how to wire them to the battery from the footwell? Yeah I know i'm dumb.

Actually the blue leds look pretty good inside the Z depending on the color of your car and interior. It's a nice blueish glow. I've seen it done and will be switching my domes and hatch one to the blue leds soon. I'm going with these.

blue lights attract 14 year old girls. meh.

5k white leds make things look like you drive an adults car.. just my opinion.

I have changed the dome and footwell lighting at the same time. The footwell lighting is wired to the dome lights. They come on when the doors open and turn off when the doors close. However, I have turned the dome lights off so the only lights that come on are the footwell lighting. It looks pretty cool.

These are not my pictures.

take everyone's advice and stick with white led lights. I've once had blue dome lights because I wanted to look "cool." I took it off after I realized it was too much. I never regretted after I changed to white LED because it looks so much nicer at night and you can see better too.

OP footwells are a pretty easy mod.
Its only about $20 and it take less than 15 min to do.
I am quite certain that they have a few DIY's out there.
Depending on your wiring you can do a variety of things with the footwells.
For example: Mine come on when I start the car (kinda dumb... =/), I have other friends who have it come on when you turn on your headlights. I've also had a friend who made a switch in his car for it.
IMO out of all the colours I have seens, Red and Blue were definitely the most popular. I actually haven't come across white until now.

For Dome lights, Listen to everyone else. The whole purpose for dome lights is to see. It's a B**** not being able to find something at night in your car.

I would steer away from underglows. It's a pain to install and an even bigger pain to maintain as they tend to break easier. Nothing cool about a car with only side of his car lit. Imho I would simply spend the money elsewhere.

My friend had some money lying around so he put underglows in his Genesis Coupe, lasted less than a month before he had to take them off. Biggest waste of $$

I have stage 3 blue diode dynamics LEDs in my interior. I like it...plus its not like those are constantly on. Walking up to your ride at night and unlock it...deep blue glow looks really cool to me. Exterior lights I went with stage 3 white though.

This is what I did on my '08, going for an OEM-style installation:

Orange LED strips to match OEM gauge lighting-


Floor lighting wired to dome lights, so LED's come on/off with doors, slowly fade off with the dome lights, and can be manually controlled like each dome light-


End result, looks brighter in this pic than it really is-

That orange actually looks really good imo.
I never thought of matching it with the gauge.
