I'm half way through knocking up some footwell LEDs that I'm going to splice into the cigarette lighter feeds.

Think ill use the same.
I had cathodes in before as were brighter but the other week having the music very loud i managed to give myself titanus and shatter one of the cathode inner tubes so swapping them all for led strips now

Just corrected my post, I've got LED strips as well. I had considered some cold cathodes too but think LEDs are probably the way to go nowadays anyway.  s:) :) s:)

My plan is to hook them up to a rocker switch on a custom kick panel. I'd considered taking a feed each side off the door switches to make them come on with the interior light but I like the idea of being able to just have them on with the ignition if I choose.

Stu did you miss this one? Which position is titanus? I've tried most positions but don't know this one.   s:D :D s:D  

It's amazing what youngsters get up to these days.

Mind you tinnitus is not nice hope it clears.
