I am looking to get some lights put under my seats that will light up to inside alittle more. Any suggestions to sites that have the lights. Also, what sizes am I looking for to change out the lights on the ceiling? Thanks.

Deff go with Oznium. I put a 4.5 inch flex strip under the dash and seats and it lit up very bright... and they are easy to install.

I got two 9.5" orange flex's too, under my dash. They light up nicely, not as bright and 'annoying' as Cathodes, but I love mine. I also have the LED domelight in orange, and it gives my car's interior an 'demonic' orange glow. It lights up everything nice and orange :D.

Thats a comparision show between the Cathodes and flex strips, as you can tell; the cathodes put out a little more light, in a broader range. I went with flex strips because my foot well on the passenger side is a little curvy and I was afriad it wouldn't look right, and I didn't like the look of the 'orange cream' too much.

great choice going with the orange domelight. i regret getting my cool white ones. wanted blue instead. thought if i got white i can read writings and maps at night. i believe the blue ones would do just fine and it will give my interior the blue glow. along with my 9.5" flex led's lighting up the floor.

those are pretty bright. almost as bright as my 9.5". how did you place your rear seat led's. need to relocate mines to get better lighting.
BTW... why isn't the post owner (gokudo_sama) posting on this thread? sorry for thread jacking

I put the ones in the back on thier side with the led's facing the back seats. So the light was directed towards the back. The under dash ones were facing straight down. I would think the 9s would be too bright and cause a reflection on the windows at night.

Haha. I'm still here. I was waiting for a few different ideas for placement and what not. I will def go with the lights from that site. I know there are those flex ones and the straight ones. Do they give off the same amount of light? If so, then flex would be the best right? I'm going to be getting prob like 4 of the smaller flex ones in white and position them around the car. Now, can I wire them all together to that I only have on switch for them? Let me know. Thanks for the input people!!!!

Eh, mine don't. Mine just baraly cover up to my seat, and they are faced down. I was thinking of adding 2 more 9.5" under my rear ones for looks and to impress my friends and whatnot, but eh.. Its extra money I don't have right now lol. But in the future, its a possibilty :D.

My blue ones were angled down and at night Id get a little blue glase on the windows...nothing much or in the way, but I figured the 9s would be was worse. But I think the Blue are brighter than some others.

Did yall wire them to a switch or through your existing dome light wiring? Thats what idf like to figure out is where i can tap into the wiring so that when i open the doors/or any other time that the dome light would normally come on, the LEDs in the floor and dash would light up....

I know lights are illegal if they will be distracting so are the 4.5s all around pretty safe choices and not too flashy to attract the police attention?

Yea, just wire them either parallel or in a series. I'd go with series though, it'd be easier.
