footwell lighting.

I would like to have a light on the passenger and a light in the driver side footwells that illuminate when the doors are open or i manually turn the switch for the interior lights.

Anyone have a write-up for this?

In the wire bundle on the passenger side footwell, tap into the yellow wire with the white stripe . Not the white wire with the yellow stripe as I did at first! You can also ground the lights there. The put some lights on the plastic cover right above the footwell. They pull right off.

Can you get original factory lights for this type of install?
My friend has an older Liberty and there were actually connections already there for the lights. All he did was buy the bulbs and plug them in.

Isnt there anything under there for the JKs?

Yes you can buy the socket assembly from the dealer. Mine is an '07 and the wiring is already there. Plug and all. At least for the driver side. I bought some LED lights and used the factory wiring to install them. I did purchase a fuse holder and install this inline with the LED light. I used a 1 amp fuse just to give some protection in case something went wrong with the LED.

Here is the old thread for this. Hope it helps:
