Todays Project

Soo today I found a local electronic store and a local car audio store and between the two of them I got this done.......some of the LEDs are those cheap strips that you can buy at autozone and some are ones that I bought all the pieces and assembled myself but I hid them pretty well so no one will ever know the difference!

The car audio store drilled out the spacer behind the Aux jack and put in a sleek looking rocker switch for the lights and then all I did was wired everything and connected it to the 12v battery in the spare tire area (I did that because I didn't wana void the dealerships warranty by splicing into a wire)

There are some in the front footwells, under the front seats, a bar under the back seat, in the two little cubbies on either side of the console, and my favorite is the LEDs in the center vent sending out a cool glow (I plan on doing the round ones soon)

Great job. Now all you need to do is the remainder of the lights. There is a great DIY here, run a search for it.
