This mod is to add LED light to the rear passenger footwell area.
The dome light is often not enough to light the rear footwell because the high head rest blocks the light.
The mod is quite simple but does require taking off a few trim pieces.
HINT: Search youtube for install of illuminated door sills. That will show you how to remove kick panel and door sill.
Here are instructions for installing the drivers side. It’s the same on the passenger side.
1) Remove map light assembly.
2) Tap the green (1) and red (21) wires for power.
3) Route wire from map light to window. Route under headliner to A pillar. 4) Continue wire down pillar to the kick panel.
5) Run wire along the sill.
6) At the point where the sill meets the side of the seat you go under the carpet. There is a hole in the carpet already for the wire to come out under the seat.
7) Connect wire leads to the +/- leads of the LED.
8) Secure wire to under the seat by tucking under the seat springs.
When your map lights go on so will the rear lights!!
Total time is approx 3 hours.
