IIRC there is, or at least was, a ‘how-to’ on here about tapping into the front interior light, which I followed to fit mine.

Are LEDs ideal? Won’t they be a bit harsh, or dim with the interior light? Not all do, I understand.

Really good mod, though.

I should have gone to spec savers, the question was footwell lights not puddle lights. Forget I said anything about doors.

please please let me blame it on dyslexia and not my stupidity

Same applies, though, they need to be tied in with the interior lights.

(Does that help ease the pain?)

There is an ambient lighting thread here.
