^^ i was gunna direct him to the same link........ there both on the driver side facing the passenger side. One in each cup holder thing right in the middle facing towards the middle where both cup holders meet. hope that helped!!
yeah, i set up mine different as well, i actually have four leds, two per cupholder in the front. i placed two leds on the bottom! and two on the sides, (the main thing you wanna look at , is that they do NOT cause any glare in your passenger's eyes, and more importantly, in your eyes.
but having the ones on the bottom , when lit, create a water effect on my roof! which is pretty awesome, and the side ones, light up the bottles.
they are all placed as close to the driver and back seat as they could get. i will try to post pics....... Mr1
hey so what kind of wiring do we use? and did you run the wire to the battery? or splice a close by wire. if so which wire near the cup holder is 12v?
and last question. does it turn on when we turn on the car and off when we turn off the car?

the way i did it and kev did it is about the same. we just got a OEM swtich and ran it to the fuze box and the other to the led wires. i put a fuze between the switch and the fuze box and then i use telephone wire as the ground and the power for the leds since they dont pull so much power. its not really that hard to do. i still have like 8 or 10 more leds toput into my car. i have 4 in the cup holder, 3 under the foot well of the passanger and 2 under my footwell.
