VLEDS Footwell Lighting Install

There should be an adapter with the kit that plugs in where the bulb went. Should look something like the second pic.

 

Yeah, those little connectors go on the ends of the wires. Here's a video.

 

Yep. It looks like they won't go together correctly when you begin to fit them together, but they do connect securely. Note what the instructions say about polarity. This is where it gets fiddly and you need to check each strip to make sure you have all your connections correct and that everything lights up when they're all connected together before wiring everything in. If you have different connectors that you like I'd honestly just use those instead of the ones that came in the kit.

 

Yeah, it's friggin' as shit. You have to unhook one of those little connectors and flip the wires over then clamp it down again. I didn't have any left after I was done because 2-3 of them broke.

 

My hands are delicate

 

I had to purchase 2 kits, after i screwed up all the connectors and wires for the 1st one, i trashed it and tried again.

 

It's honestly going to save some headache and frustration by running up to Walmart or something and buying a couple of packs of T-taps or other connector that is meant for 18-22 gauge wire.

 

I ran mine across the firewall and tucked all the wires in the center

 

If you're running them under the driver and passenger seats as well then you'll probably want to pop out the center console cover so you can run the wires easier. It's easiest to start if you open the storage lid and begin working from where the center console meets the storage box. Wedged a body trim tool as a starting point for reference.




Here's a good video on removing it (start it 1:00 in if you have your battery disconnected, otherwise 1:30 in):

 

Didnt go that route either. I just tucked wires up under the plastic skirt of the center console. Its loose enough to fish wires up under but tight enough to hold the wires in.

 

Right on. Mine was already off because I was already doing another mod at the same time.

 

Nicely done!

 

Hmmmmm. So is this kit worth $40?

 

If I were doing this again, I would just buy the LED's and the footwell adapter so you don't have to tap anything to get power. Then just clip the connectors they use and wire them in yourself using whatever connectors you want. I wasn't a fan of their connectors at all.
