Just wired puddle lights, only and time to do the passengers side. They look pretty good. I'll put a photo up when it's dark. Also when I do they drivers side I'll make a guide

I'll probably do the guide next weekend. I bought them of eBay, I used a led strip for a better effect. They must be waterproof, it's best to get x2 - 1 metre length as they can be cut down and you'll also need some cable (I got 5m)

Not the best of photos but my cameras bad

I just used the standard fiesta mk6 boot lights,

Personally I think they look better than the led strips.

Just finished them of at the weekend so I'll hopefully get a guide up one night this week. If you want to go ahead and order stuff now then you'll pretty much just need led strips and cable, Soldering iron is better but other means of connecting is possible, also a hot glue gun is also helpful. It not needed.

Led strips, 1m is plenty and can be cut down to size! (I used blue, wouldn't recommend it though, Im changing mine to white. As long as there waterproof, 12v and are cuttable they should do) these ones look similar to the ones I got - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-Under-Cabinet-Strip-Display-Lights-12-dc-Warm-or-Cool-White-with-Driver-/121140315073?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Lighting_Lamps_Lighting_SM&var=&hash=item1c348683c1

Cable, best to get a 10m length black/red, 20 AWG will carry more than enough current, - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-AWG-Wire-Cable-Leads-for-single-colour-LED-Strip-Black-Red-Extension-5m-New-/251415340174?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item3a8985a48e

Looks neat, Defiantly gives it more of a factory look but doesn't give of as much light, I like the led str as it gives it more if a spread effect

Messaged you back, Red would look sweet! - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Red-1M-60-LED-Strip-Light-3528-SMD-Tape-Waterproof-Flexible-Strip-Lighting-12V-/151181805517?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Night_Lights_Fairy_Lights&hash=item23332347cd

It's really neat M4RC and you're right it doesn't give off as much light as an led strip but enough to be adequate and I've always preferred the factory look, I had blue led strips in my front and rear footwell a but ended up swapping them over for the same lights as my puddle lights. :-)

My Interior light, footwell lights ( standard plus my added ones), puddle lights are all blue. Defiantly going to change the puddle lights to white but undecided about the rest. I prefer the white led, looks nicer that the yellow factory look

Totally agree I have been meaning to swap all my interior bulbs to w5w LEDs think it will make a difference to the yellowish standard ones.
