Default Backseat LED's?

How difficult is it to set up the same factory LEDs for under the seats so they shine in the back? And also to have them connected to the switch up front to turn them on and off?

It will take 3 or 4 hours to install. I pulled out the rear side panels and installed them in the cup holders, fished the wires up to the emergency brake area. The tubes I ran the wires from the E brake area down each side to under the seats. There is already slots cut in the carpet under seats.

I attached the tubes to the bottom of each seat by cutting a little slit and zip tying them on. WHen the front seats get moved, the tubes move with them. Just make sure the wires will not get ran over.

I thought about mounting them to the floor but some of my clown friends big feet would step on them.

The fuse for the existing ones you have is back by the cig lighter. Attach to the existing ones and the new ones will turn on and off with them.

Get a Randode kit, it's cheaper, faster and you'll get better results.

go to www.xoxide.com and get cold cathodes they're much cheeper and you'll get better results, the 2 tube kits run for 5.99-7.99 all you have to do is check the tech forum for install notes
