Quick question?
Are all LED lights pretty much the same brightness?
On ebay I can get a 9 inch strip of LED lights for around 1.50
On StreetGlow I can get 2 12in strips for around $32

Is there a big difference?
Please let me know as I am going to do the footwell mod?
In addition if I hook these up can i turn them off with a music interface or will they always be on?

Thanks all!
Kenny

Not all are the same brightness.

You don't wanna get too bright for footwells(other wise they will distract you while driving)

If you hook it up to a music interface box, you can turn them on- off- music mode

When you get the music interface box, hook it up via a fuse tap, that way it will come on and off with the car.

as for running wires, just get a softer plastic tool, and start pushing the wire along the sides of the plastic panels (the little seams).


there is a little indentation on the top of the ipod bay that's perfect for a 4" strip

There is a little lip on top of the footwells where you can mount the led strips

WHen you put the LEd in the ipod bay where did you run the wires?
Thanks,

I'd go with the AUTOZONE part. (just because thats what i did). that way you get them instantly, you see their brightness, and their lengths
