Yep I think LEDs in the footwells can look great if they're not too bright, and either white or the colour coding on the car.

I've got my sub to my battery but with lights they're not too much so the fuse box would do. Which is in the dash anyway. Just feeding wires through and screwing lights up under footwell

They are unique cold cathode tubes in red. No where sells them anymore. I got them from a good friend in the motor accessory industry.

Ye they are awesome - they create a nice ambience (much better now I have tinted them down)
