those of you with footwell lighting?
wired to your dome lights.... do you drive with your dome light on? i think thats pretty weak for the lights only to show when u open your doors... so do u guys just drive around with them on or? i think adding a switch may be too difficult...but maybe not

My footwell lighting stays on at night in both the front and rear footwells

It's that guy

yeah I never thought that such a small thing would be important, but my wife is driving the new honda CRZ and it has very subtle lighting in the footwells and I think it's awesome and now I want it but all the ones I've seen are super bright and obnoxious looking.

I have mine wired up to the dome light. Easiest way to do what you want is to install a dimmer switch between the lights and the 12v. That way you can dim them to be "subtle"

You could always add a secondary light/led that's hooked into constant power. That way the bright ones would go off w/the dome light, and the dimmer ones would stay on w/the car

If i was going to have a dimmer light on even while driving, I'd just get some single LEDs and pop them under... should be enough light imo.

its a little distracting to have it on all the time i prefer to keep it off unless the dome light is on.
