Well, I was really getting tired of how crappy the stock dome light was in my Express. So I upgraded it to an LED array and added a couple of MAXled from Autozone under the dash. Absolutely LOVE it now!

They are all white LEDs, the cellphone Camera makes them seem extra blue.
(they are KIND of blue, but not this bad)

Very nice, the one thing i don't like about my truck is only having that one crappy light in the middle, it sure would be nice to have one up front to turn on and off

I almost mounted the footwell lights right between the visors and the windshield. Still might add some more there at a later date, but DAMN it's bright inside now.

Only reason I didn't was for the difficulty of wiring in the headliner. I don't want to drop that thing unless I'm covering it with something black!

I really like the footwell lights. I always seem to drop **** at night and I can't ever find it.

Did you hard wire the foot lights or just have them plugged into the aux?

Hard Wired. I found the 2 wires going up to the dome light in the dash, it's a green plug.

Yellow / White Tracer +
Brown / Black Tracer -

Wires are really short and a PITA to splice, but I got er did, and couldn't be happier. They fade out just like the stock light and everything.:birgits_tiredcoffee

Tonight was the first real night I've really seen the results. It's NICE n Bright!
I love it!
