HOW TO WIRE REAR SEAT FOOTWELL LIGHTING
hello, i decided to add some footwell lighting to my rear seats. now this write up is assuming you have already done you front footwell lighting ( i know, what happens when we assume?) lol,
ok, if you did your footwell lighting by the instructions found in this thread http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54183 then you probably have your footwell lighting coming on with your dome lights. if that the case you would just tap into the wire that you already have going to your front footwell lights. once you tap into it, you would run the wire along the side panel all the way to the back seat. i would pop out the back seat, its very easy, just get you hands under the front of the back seat and lift up and then reach into the rear of the seat, about centered where you sit and push down on the bracket and the seat pops right out. run your power wire with the existing harness to the front center of the back seat. see pics, now i took a self tapping screw with a little silicon and connected a ground wire. so now we have power and ground at the front center of the rear seat. i then took the red led that i purchase from autozone and used some 60 second 2 part epoxy and secured them to the front of the rear seats, see pics. I then connected the 2 red wires from the light to the power wire and the 2 black wire to the ground wire. There you go. ohh, it probably a good idea to disconnect you battery while doing this. now i have my footwell lights connected to a switch and not the dome light wire, so all i did is tap into the wire out of the switch that goes to my front footwell lights. hope this helps, i love it if you need some pics, please let me know, i'll do what i can. lupe |

Very nice!!! I love it sir!! Thank you for sharing.
We have the new ABL flexible kits packaged in the Vendors section now as well. I think this might be our next mod on The Sizzle sir. They are so easy to work with. Thanks. Ivan @ Southwest Speed |

Nice work man... I put in rear seat footwell lights in a totally different way. Your method is inventive, and I like it!

Great write up! I've been toting with this idea for some time now. Question though, did you run the (+) wire underneath the carpet? I got that you run it alongside the center console and all. Just curios to how you made the jump to the back seats.

Just wired them in now. Was a really easy install. Just electric taped the negative down to center bolt under the seat. Though I realized afterwards that I can't remove the back seat without ripping the wiring all up :( I'll be sure to grab some pictures once it gets dark out. Now I'm off to do some claying.
