Well last night i put in some LED glow strips in the footwell area they are colour changing and the other ones are just regular blue, i wired the switches into the glovebox. I think it looks pretty good i love having the lights in my car! What do you guys think?
  Also cleaned the carpet and seats, Looks good for being 18 years old!

kaizee: sorry my schedule is crazy
I don't have the pics cause I'm not where the car is stored. But all I did was use 3mm or 5mm (can't remember) prewired 12v LEDs from radio shack. There are like $1-2 each? Used two per light. (store had like red, blue and free, but online has any color obviously). And then you just drill a small hole in the top of the headlight (the grey plastic piece, behind the glass). there is only one spot that really makes any sense to do it. Feed them through the headlight (little bit of a pain) and they come with washers and nuts to tighten them into the headlamp. And just wire them to a switch, as its illegal to actually drive like that lol. and turn them on when u want. caribou: the vent lights and handles are all wire together. I had the wired a bit complicated (not took complicated, but they could go just to a main power and a switch). I use the power from the cig lighter, light. On the back of the cig lighter there are two wires just for a little light (ground and power) and it turns on with the headlights (and gauges). Also used LEDs from radioshack that are prewired to be 12v and work in the car. Then just take the vents out individually and run wires to the power source. Drill out the correct size hole for the LED. You gotta get a little creative with the wiring, but if u know basic wiring. + to + and - to - its pretty simple. I also had a manual switch incase I got pulled over. The drivers side vent has a small circle on the top right (just look). I used a normal toggle switch (also red) to manually turn the power off. And LEDs consume like no power so you can add quite a few of them. Let me know if not all of the made sense -------------------- I've spilt my heart into this car :) And I don't ever plan to stop  - 6GC for Life - >Semper Fi< 1994 Cupra :p 3sgte 1995 Celica ST DD 1969 Chevelle SS alllll balls.
