This way, it is easy to install. The complex part would be taking apart the center consul. However, if you only take off the CD Player, switches, you can sneak the wire through.

I'm also thinking about putting a set of these behind the seats, and wire it like the illuminated door sill, so it will come on by the door opened. (e.g. if only driver side door opens, the footwell for both will come on, but behind the seats, only the driver side comes on. Also want to figure out how to get the illuminated door sill change color by simple switches. )


Hope it helps.
