LEDs in Backseat Footwells? Yes or No?

Post by **srwong** » Sat Nov 20, 2010 2:43 am

ok, i'm debating on if i want to put blue LED strips under the seats to light up the back seats footwells. but idk if i want to.

reason 1 - i have a coupe, so there's only 2 doors and the front is what u see first.

reason 2 - i rarely have more than 1 passenger ride with me, so there's hardly any one ever in the backseat.

reason 3 - if i do put them in the back, do i want to hook it up to the same switch i have my front footwells and cupholders connected to?
or
do i want to put them on a separate switch since like i said, there's hardly no one ever back there?

everything inside my car is blue, lighting that is. door controls, gauge cluster, start button, front footwells, cupholders, hvac, steering wheel controls, map & dome lights. the back seat has nothing done to it. help me out guys, i know theres a few coupe owners who have sum done in the back.

1st, I have them in the back and just like reason 1; you never see them.
2nd, Put them all on 1 switch.
3rd, It will proabably be really easy to install so maybe if you just want to do it to kill time or for fun then do it.

I voted no because you hardly have anyone in the back seat, just like me. Instead of the footwells look for another location that hasn't been done before, give it that WOW effect just like the dash.

I am the only reasonable person saying yes... because I have them in my floor board as well

In my opinion i think that glow from the back seat would be cool... Kind of like the whole floor is glowing

i've been trying to find a diy for the front footweel led install. is it just common sense or what? please help

thanks for all the input guys. the side pockets on the doors sounds like a good idea. i think i remember someone on here doing that before. when i get in my car at night it feels complete, then i look in the backseat and its pitch black. that's why i've been throwing this idea around for a while.

yea they usually have a sticky side to them, and we slap them on. then you just connect the wires to a switch or whatever u decide to do. easy as hell.

well if you want a light in the bak you could put a single led in the cup holders that are in the bak seat right under the windows

Do the cupholders and the bottom side door panel.

Do just the cupholder in the back

whats wrong with footwells in the back?
unless you're under $$ restraints, go for cupholder leds & backseat footwells!

i say don't bother, more trouble than it's worth. people are rarely back there, you can't see them when you look into the car unless you get into the back, more wires everywhere. if it were a sedan i'd say for sure, but not for the coupe
