Front floor well lighting solution ?

Does anyone have a good product to buy for floor well lighting that obviously comes on with the door being opened and somehow attached to the dome light settings ? I have seen how people have wired in LED door sill protectors into the fusebox with adapted Molex connectors but I dont know what product others have found to deliver the actual light.

Thanks in advance..

There is a factory floor illumination kit. Biggest improvement will be led dome lights.

Yep, LED dome lights really makes a huge improvement. I did the same for the cargo light.

I used these lights on E-Bay --- http://www.ebay.com/itm/4pcs-Blue-3LED-Car-Charge-12V-Glow-Interior-Decorative-Atmosphere-Light-Lamp-/221613642551?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item339933d337&vxp=mtr

I am guessing you could find something similar in a white light if you are looking for a white light rather than something decorative. As for where to hook them up - See this earlier post on how to tie into the fuse panel under the dash...

This turned out to be a pretty inexpensive upgrade for me. I had already done the Fit DoorSill illuminated plates that I got from China on E-Bay so I just tapped into that existing wiring. But I think the Dome light post should give you everything you need. As another reference I used the Honda directions for installing the Door Sill plates and the Illuminated Floor lights as a guide for installation - as it provides guidance on how to remove all the various plastic pieces under the front dash and along the floor boards. (You can find these at several of the online Honda Parts stores if you have trouble locating them)...

Thanks guys I will have a look...

I have ordered LED bulbs for the interior and will see what difference they make before putting in something like this... Cheers
