Soemoen else tried this and had nothing but trouble although I think it was more from a bad sparkie who didn't know what he was doing. He blew his ECU and was trying to sue the guy to get it fixed.

If I was you I would do a lot of research BEFORE

Dome light is easy, goto Bursons with your existing globe and ask for LED of the same size and that's it. You get bright white with blue mix or just blue. They are the brightest ones you can get in the market at the moment.

Never thought of footwell lights and like Dave said some one ended up replacing ABS ecu. I would be interested in installing engraved lights on the steel plate on foot rail which is visible once you open the door.

I was thinking of maybe having under car LED's tucked away under the body kit that lit up when you opened the door or even unlocked it. I reckon that would be pretty cool.

We all know of course you can't have under car LED's when driving.
