v-leds.com has incredibly bright leds. I use them for reverse lights, dome light, underhood light, and brake lights. They have a lot to choose from. They can get pricey for bulbs though, worth it in my opinion. Or, Northridge4x4.com just started carrying some nice affordable leds as well.

I bought two 14 inch led strips from autozone for about 25 bucks and stuck them under the driver and passenger side footwell. Wired them into the factory loom so they illuminate when the doors open. I also went to oznium dot com and purchased 14 superflux LEDs and that was about 50 bucks. I installed those into the rear kick panels to illuminate the rear floors, and in the trunk roll bar to light up the trunk. I then purchased a new rearview mirror with map lights and that made a HUGE difference.

Good luck buddy

Buy led strips install under dash and rear seats. Wire them to the dome lights so that they come on when u open your doors. I'll be doing mine in blue.

If you search for led in foot wells there area lot of pics Of this
