Bog,

Will do when I get a chance, on holiday next week so can't do it then but it was fairly simple. Follow the existing 'how to for blue lights switched from headlights', however, I did it without removing the glove compartment door. Just pull the glove light down, feed a wire through, then attach all the LED wires to the fed wire and pull them through. You can then follow the rest of that guide.

To fit the LED's from the interior light, remove the front interior light as detailed in the 'how to swap mic over' and connect a wire to the bulb fitting for the passenger interior light. Feed this wire around the roof trim, down the side of the windscreen and under the dashboard and fix the LED's next to the ones you just fiited above. Then your sorted!

Gray52,

What type of diode would I require? Also, for 4 LED's would the cost of the diode's out weigh the cost of a second pack of LED's? In theory I could have used 1 LED in each footwell but felt that would have been to dim so used 2. The 2 LED packs cost 10 pounds in total from halfords, so the cost is minmal. (it cost 11.52 for what Honda are charging 200 quid) Took less than 2 hours to fit.

Either way, I now have blue footwell lights that come on with the interior lights (Blue led bulbs fitted) and also dim with the interior lights. Then, when I switch the headlights/sidelights on I have constant blue footwell lights

Anyway would like to thank all the people who have wrote the how t o guides that enabled me to have the confidence to have a go at this! It really was simple to do, but made more so by the guides people have previously wrote!!
