go to autozone and buy something called "add a circuit". My question is, how would you run cold cathodes in your trunk to the dome light so they lit up whenever the dome light lit up?

connect it to the dome light circuit?
perhaps a relay would be a good idea.

I just installed some LEDs today in the two center vents, and door handles, and cathodes by the feet. I havn't had time to do the two side vents and cup holders yet.
I got a switch from Oznium.com (the big black one all the way on the right) and got some wires and all the LED's there. 5mm blue, with the plastic holders. You also need resisters to sodder all to them too. The door handel ones are the only ones that are not on the switch, because i havn't had time to run a new wire all the way threw the door.

I got those two smaller switches from auto zone, and the LEDs in them were waaaay to bright, so i disabled those and put two 5mm LED's on the extra blank.
Your question about getting the power; i ran a new wire from the battery to behind the switches, and went in the switch, and then out to all 8 locations. That is to many wires to come off of one switch though, so i used a distribution block to devide the output of the switch, because it's really hard to crimp 8 wires together and connect it to one switch.
I guess i should have made a DIY out of this...lol, oh well. Next time! :doh:
