Tried searching in the DYI forum with no luck. Anyone done the interior LED footwell mod? Not to keen on the oem kit and heard it was a B to install.

Think I'd rather come up w my own that can be used for both front and back seat....anyone have a dyi thread or anything else to help point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

 

I installed the OEM kit, took me like 2 hours but most of that was figuring out how to pull all the dash panels without damaging them. The car was 2 weeks old at this point so I was a bit paranoid. Really not that hard to do, kills your back because of the angles you have to lay to access the wires up behind the glovebox though.

To do a DIY, it'd honestly be pretty simple, just get some stick on LED strips in the color of your choice, run some wires, tuck them under carpet/out of sight, and splice into the same wire the OEM kit hooks up to (glovebox light I believe).

Im just about to tackle this myself. This should help and I plan on doing something similar to this DIY.

has anyone used the diode dynamics foot well kit? I'm very interested in this.

 

curious to know that too and there kit includes both front and back which what Im looking for. thanks to everyone else as well for your feedback...I want a nice crisp white glow thats not over powering...looked in my mothers S5 the other day and loved the look

 

Had dealer installed mine i got raped by labor cost they do look really nice, if you were to go to your local auto store and bought a led strip wouldnt look as clean although its cheaper.

 

Oem is your best choice its just has a the perfect lighting those led strips are distracting there to bright. If you have a.dd. dont get these ** OOOOHHHH SHINY LIght GRHHHHH Crash**

You offer a not as bright white kit?

 

If you get the multicolor kit you can dial back the brightness as much as you want with the Remote or the Wifi Smartphone App

^THIS. Got me interested now

 

x2^^^^^ app to lower/raise the intensity? would like to hear more about this

 

The wifi controller costs extra...more than the kit. But it would be pretty bad-***. Wife is going to kill me if I spend more money on LEDs, though, lol.

 

do it!!!! :dead:

 

The WiFi phone app is so cool! Plus it has a feature that allows it to synchronize with music, if your into that sorta thing lol
