Default LED interior lights / exterior 'faux' LED idea...

My daily driver, a 2006 Saturn VUE Redline, has stock switchable gold/blue LED footwell lights - switch is on the center console...

I'd like to hook up some more interior LEDs on my Crossfire...(under the seat)...just like my Redline...

I was going to wire them into the dome circuit, but it has the 'theatre dimming' thing...anybody have an idea of what would happen to LEDs if they were on the 'dimming' module? Or, what would happen to the MODULE??

Rather than change the oddball Euro cyllinder lights in the dome lamps / trunk lamp - and affect the dimming module, I am planning to apply a blue clear 'glaze' paint to either the lamps or the inside of the reflectors...I think Testor makes clear model paint that might work...

I actually had LEDs on the licence plate lights of my VUE Redline, but got REALLY fed up with them lasting 2 months or so...then flickering or just going out...so, I coated the INSIDE of the licence place light lenses with clear blue paint glaze...LOOKS like LEDs now...but without the hassle!

May try it with the Crossfire...

Ideas, anyone?
