i would like to do some led's. and yes i have the lighting down there from the factory but id like to add some color. although, i would be happy with having the stock lighting and just having a switch to turn something like an led strip on and off. but if i did that how could i wire something like that up? and where could i get a kit?

I just got a set of led's off ledunderbody.com and they are amazing. I signed up to get the catalog and started getting emails with promo's from them. got 20% off at christmas and picked up the 7 color change led's for something like 37 bucks. they come with a keychain remote so you can change the settings from like 20 ft away from your vehicle. If ya want some pics let me know and i'll get some on here.

he wants them in the car..

for in the car just get a rocker switch, run power to the rocker, then off the rocker run power to each led strip, then ground them, then you gotta ground the rocker too, then you have custom led footwells

Just buy a powerful LED 194 bulb and pop out the light that is already there, and insert the colored LED light.

Instant color, very easy to do.
