Upgraded the ambient interior lights, Install video

This was not a mod I would have thought I'd consider in the past, however I am glad I did. Iam Please with the results.
Goal was no broken tabs/clips lol , and I can honestly report, nothing broke!
Install wasn't bad, a bit tedious.
I like Obviously, the choice of colors in now plentiful, I like how you can see it during the day, and dim them at night if you so desire.
worthwhile upgrade! I bought them used here on the forums






​​​​​​​ And the pics of the guy I bought them from:

Ken that looks awesome. Thanks for taking the time to do this video, cameras makes everything a lot harder than people think.

They are powered by the same supply as the OEM lights, so the turn on and off, and dim as the factory ones do.

I'm wondering if anyone has a link to a kit that one can buy that includes the 4x footwell lights. I found the below which seems to be the way to go but I'm nervous about them having the LED tubes. I already have the ambient lighting in my car and don't want to mess with swapping tubes. I know that Ken just scraps them in the video but will that be the case with every kit you can buy?
