Default Footwell lighting problem please help!

So i am installing the LEDGlow 4-Piece 7 Color LED Interior Underdash Lighting Kit in my car but i ran into the problem of getting the lights over to the passenger side of the car there seems to be no hole or anything that i can run the lights through in the center console. If anyone knows how i can do this please let me know thanks!

You can run the wire behind the stereo in the center console. All you need to do is remove the stereo, or at least pull it out to get some access behind it. Then push the wire under the plastic trim from either the driver's side or the passenger side depending on where you're going from or to. You'll see it pop out behind where the stereo was, and then you can pull as much as you need through and then push it down the other side plastic trim. I'll see if I can find some photos to help explain it better.

Here's some photos to help show off what I was talking about, the red represents the wire you're running for the LEDs.




Of course you can put the wire further back I just added the line there so that its more obvious. You can also pass the wire around the back behind the seats but you'll need to fully undo the trim over the trans tunnel to help snake the wire through. Best of luck!

When I installed footwell lights, I was able to run the wire from the right to left using a straightened coat hanger to fish the wire. Didn't have to remove any console parts. Here's how I installed mine, so they work in conjunction with the dome lights, as they might if they were original equipment.
