Help With Wiring Footwell Leds?

Hi, I would like to wire footwell LEDs as my car doesn't have them. - (drivers and passenger side). Preferably I would like them to come on with the dome light eg. When you open the doors or unlock car etc. Just wondering where the best place to run the cable would be, if it's to hard then I'll just have to take a supply from the cigarette lighter or something.

Thanks

    Do you mean you don't have footwell lights at all ??? If so, you'll need to run a wire direct from your interior (roof) light, this shouldn't be to difficult.

    I have a guide link under this post if viewed on a computer.

    The guide is for a Focus but the routine will be roughly the same.

    Yeah,that's right I have no footwell lights atall so I'll need to run a wire from the roof light to the foot wells but I have no idea what route to use??

    Ah, i guess iPads don't handle PDF?

    Try installing Kindle reader, that will display PDF files.

    Nah, that doesn't work either. You have to download the file and then view it on that app but I can't download it

    Converted the PDF pages to jpg images for you.

    Hopefull that works better.

    Bear in mind that the guide is for the Focus so some bits may not go the same, if you don't have bulb holder mounting points then you can substitute adhesive LED strips attached to any convenient under dash trim.
