I didn't bother with strips under the front seats as I never travel in the back, and rarely have back seat passengers.
This is two 12" long RED LED strips (cost about £13 inc postage from E-Bay). They are wired soley to come on as
the dome light does, and fade out in exactly the same time/manner.

I believe Yaumeister was attempting to do a similar thing, but ran into problems. It is possible, but I wouldn't
suggest using the door marker lights as a feed, but maybe as a trigger for a relay to switch them on/off.
I would suggest there is no need for a delay as you wont see them fade with the door in the closed position

Would have to be inlaid into the mirror housing to look good IMO, but deffo possible using a parrallel feed to the dome light
to work in exactly the same way as the footwell courtesy light.

Yaumeister has yellow lightbrows running along the top of the headlights connected to his indicators
to flash in time I believe (but maybe timed to flashe exactly opposite, I can't remember which way).
[quote name='5chulzy' post='582207' date='Sep 12 2008, 06:37 PM']what colour do you guys think i should go for on 1, 2 and 3 white/blue/red/????[/quote]
entirely up to you, I went with a Red LED colour scheme as evryone else had gone for Blue or White interior LED's.
I would suggest white so long as the LED's are not too bright. I have
Red Glovebox Led's
Red Dome Led's
Red Map Reading LEd's
Red Footwell courtesy lights
Love them to bits
When fitting these lightbrows, a quick blow 250mA fuse was fitted with mine along with a Diode to ensure electrical safety.......
Fuse everything you are going to fit !! Better to be safe than sorry matey.
I will be at Folkstone either Tuesday or Weds this week, send me a PM if you wanna hook up and take a look at mine,
or need any further info etc whilst I am down your neck of the woods.....
