Default First Steps to illuminated footwells...

Ok, so it might not be much, but it's my first time playing with cars & my first Jeep. (It won't be my last!!)

Decided, given the evenings are getting darker, to wire in some LED stripping & see if I can brighten up my footwells. Well, a 5a block connection & a microswitch later, we have power. Now time to feed it around the vehicle....

More photos to come....

I did something similar, but plugged lights into the factory harness for footwell lights. Turns on with dome lights when door is opened or headlight switch is turned.

I am looking forward to results as well!



At first glance I was concerned that your steering where had been misplaced.

I assume your goal is to have ambient lighting while driving?

I think you'll find the steering wheel is in the correct place. On the right!!


Didn't really have a plan, but stripped out around 40 metres' of LED's on a job a few weeks ago & have been looking for ways to utilize them. The Jeep seemed as good a way as any.
