Just did mine! Great mod! I did red with 2 4" strips. Next is red 12" foot wells on front and back to the dome light. Thanks again for the right up.

Only problem I had was I have a 09 automatic and the dash came apart a little different and my power outlet wires are red and black instead of white and black, but the black was still the ground, so no real problem.

The lights stay on when your driving and because they are colored it doesn't mess with your vision, but the white lights will make it hard to see.

I used the 4" led strips from auto zone over the ac controls. They come in pairs, so I used both of them. Then I used a 12" strip on each side for the floor wells and across the metal bar on the back of each seat. The ac controls are hooked up to dim with the dash lights, and my floors light with the dome when the doors open or I turn the domes on. All the strips and the 2 44x10mm dome replacements coming on Monday cost me under $60. Looks like a $300 lighting job. Highly recommend it!

I think I got the same pair of 4" LEDs. Since they're a pair, did you tap splice them separately to the dimmer wire, or did you wire them together? Could really use some insight into this before I try to rig up both of mine. Thanks!
