Im sure it will work. How long may be another question. Quality....not sure its all that good. Check out oznium.com. You can buy your own "light bars" of many lengths. Then all you need would be power wire, ground wire, a switch, and a relay. Probably would cost more then whats there on ebay but the quality is there. And their customer service is top notch.

Anywhere I am sure. You would put two in the front under the dash to light up your feet. The other two could go under your front seats pointed toward the rear so the back lights up a bit. Or you can put the other two under the front part of your front seats pointed toward the front so it lights up brighter. Up to you where they go. Although there is a limited amount of wiring I bet so you probably could not put any in the back with out buying more wiring.

buy them from oznium.com. that's where i got mine. great customer service, cheap and fast shipping. they're called cold cathodes. run only about $10 for a set of 2 bars. they're not LEDs or neons, but they light up like a neon bar and doesn't run hot. LEDs are crappy cause it'll show seperate dots of light if you buy a bad quality one. cathodes install easy with some electrical wiring knowledge. i used LEDs for my air vents only.

also get a swithc off oznium. it's OEM fitment and pops right into the panel so you have a way of turning them off and on.

"BLuE LeD InterioR LightS" as the title of the ebay sale should've waved a giant red flag..

fyi.. i have those same switches for cheaper if you want to buy one.
and may i suggest you buy 2 dual sets of cathodes for $7 each at svc.com?

Those cathodes on svc.com how hard would they be to wire into an existing oem interior light kit? I see they are usually for computer cases but my passenger side light bar is missing and I want to replace it, So if I bought a set of two might as well replace them both.

Read carefully, nowhere on that ebay page does it say "bars" "neon tubes" or anything of the like. Check out the dimensions too - less than a cubic inch? Those guys are selling you just 4 LEDs. Not 4 cold cathode kits.
