ok so im in the process of uploading all the photos to my photobucket account right now. do you guys want the easy/ short way of installing the lights? if thats the case then i only have to upload a couple of pictures. have to say it looks awesome!! install was easy and only cost me the price of the lights! think it was 20 or 40$$.. so let me know if you want the short way (means you dont have to take off the door panel).

haha ok first of all no i am not stalking yamaho... she asked me to do that and i kept them up on photo bucket lol... i have a quick question... do the footwell lights shut off when its light/daytime out?? becuase they dont turn on now unless I turn the **** that turns on all the interior lights... not even the map light on the rear view mirror turns on in the day time... im not sure if it turned on before i never noticed... any ideas?? oh and thanks jdmvette for posting my pics!! btw these picutres dont do any justice... the lights look MUCH better in person!!! and they way they are place theres no bulbs or anyhting showing. i have seen those neon tubes on hondas and you can see the bulb... this looks factory lol!!
p.s.- do you guys want me to do a write up on this? step by step?

I agree... more pics!
It sure seems like a slick installation -- a bit more subtle than the typical glowing car bottom look, that's a bit too much, this is not quite so loud and in-your-face all the time. Might even give it a try, very nice!!! Thanks!!!

the interior lights stay on for like 30 seconds after you close the door.
are the new lights you put on staying on longer than when the other lights turn off?
also, where'd you get them? i'm looking for some white flex LEDs similar to what you've put in.

I like this. And I agree with PeeBee_C5 about not being quite all in your face. In your first couple of posted shots do you just have the led strip laying on your floor mat? That's the only thing I can figure about those 2 pics.

got the lights at autozone... i believe they were 20 or 10$$ each.. came with wiring and all thats all i paid for the install was the price of teh lights. they are 15" by pilot incase you wanted to know.
