Yup - we used this exact kit - h..p://www.ledunderbody.com/4pcexpandableblueledinteriorkit.aspx for under his dash. Worked well so we plan to do the same to my JK once the new ones arrive.

i think the switch that tbfreebird mentioned is called an LED Controller they sell them at tripleW.oznium.com
oznium is also a good source of LED lights. However if you want to get the LED strips which is what I used you can get them at Autozone, Pepboys, Strauss Auto or the cheapest is on Ebay.

Any tips on how to make a good strong connection with the thin LED wire? Should I fold them over a couple times? Also, any pics of the ground?

One quesion - the yellow and white wire thats on the passenger side. Is that the same yellow and white wire thats on the drivers? Im just trying to make sure they dim or if I need to connect them together.

Also in the back - what wire did you connect to back there?
i only touched the passenger side, so im not sure about that. but the same yellow and white wire on the passenger side runs up to the soundbar through the roll bar padding, so you can tap into it right there for the back.

i did same mod red leds in the footwell and the blue ones for lighting up the gear shift area. i copid another forum member and used a 12ch rf controlled relay box. it switches on my leds and other acessories such as 12v outlet,CB radio,phone charger and anything else i want. its very useful as i only have one switch on the dash which controls the whole fuse box.
