Rear Footwell LEDs
Parts
Bulb holders - same as the front footwell bulb holders. Try eBay or your local scrappy! Lengths of different coloured wire Drill and bits LED bulbs (maybe wide angle 501 LED bulbs) Soldering iron and solder
Method
Split the wires to the front footwell lights and solder in two more lengths of wire, retaining the correct polarity Run the new wire down the inside trim of the car until you get to the desired location for the new lights Remove the plastic trim (careful as there are hidden screws and Ford plastic clips) Drill holes that are the right size for the bulb holders and put them in place Connect the wires and put the trim back in place
I put the holders here because I couldnt see a sensible or easy way of putting them under the seats. Besides, I tried them under the seats and I lost about 90% of the light. I'm thinking of putting some in the top of the rear quarter panel next...
All together, it took me about 15-20 mins a side. The hardest part is hanging upside down over the seats trying to split and join wires!
