Hey everyone, after a couple weeks of asking questions that some people seemed to be getting annoyed with, i finally got my lights installed under my dash. I just wanted to thank everyone who helped me figure out how to wire them and show you the final product that my multiple posts of questions finally led to lol.
they come on when i open the doors, but they are also wired so that i can turn them on whenever i want. The ones in the trunk just come on whenever u open the trunk, and i made that white bottom last weekend so i thought i would show off that too. I used cathodes instead of leds cuz they give off more of the light i was looking for. i also have a set for the back seats that i tried to install just under the cushions with no success, so if anyone has a good place for them that would be wicked, they have to be 22'' apart because of the transformer. I was initially going to put them under the seats but the wires from transformer arent long enough to go witht he sliding forward and back, and couldnt see anywhere else to attacht hem so if anyone has any good ideas that would be awsome. Thanks again for everyones help.

I also just wanted to mention that i got these lights from oznium.com, they got a really good site for anyone looking for lighting, good forums aswell where they are all willing to help out with installations. and their prices are fairly decent aswell.

What did you use for the white trunk bottom? And why don't you just extend the wires from the transformer?

i used mdf, its heavy enough with the box in there to that it doesnt move around, just painted it white with some spray paint. took 2 and a half bottles cuz i didnt prime it but worked out to b cheaper. and u cant extend the wires from the transformer according to the website i purchased them, somehting about not enough current but to me that doesnt make any scence and im an electrician lol, the current shouldnt drop that much over that little of a distance but i dont wanna try it and it be right and the lights b f**ked upp

Not a fan of interior lighting, but that doesn't look bad.
Looks great!
