daz3.1680 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I'm thinking of fitting some lights to my footwells before winter arrives. Has anyone done this & is it worth it? Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyrule Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hey Darren, quite a few members have done this. First thing you should do is have a look to see if the wiring and bulb sockets are there already in your car. Have a look in the driver's footwell above the pedals. This is what the bulb socket looks in the driver's footwell area: If you have this socket and have a T10 W5W Led bulb knocking around you can plug it in and test to see if power is flowing. Remember with LED's if they don't work one way, turn it around and try again (polarity). If you can't see this then you may have to fit the footwell lighting yourself and there is a guide on how to do this: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/34704-guide-fitting-footwell-lighting-to-your-ford/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sorry if I wasn't clear just pop some LED Bulbs in and see if power is being supplied. I think you have done this now and found they work so all you need to do now is choose the colour theme you want. Red & Blue being the most popular and grab yourself some bulbs off eBay. Should get a nice spread of light depending on how many LED lights the bulb has. More the better tbh: I chose blue for mine: And this gives you an idea of how the light spreads in the footwells: Following Lenny's guide you can also splice into the power from the front footwells and do the rear ones with LED pods. Car will be gleaming then lol. I was lazy and spliced into illuminated scuff plates instead. You can also then get yourself some LED Bulbs to fit into the courtesy lights in the front and back if you wish ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
