Led footwell lighting.
#291
This is an awesome mod!!! I know I may seem like an idiot asking this again, but I'm an electrical moron.
Is the yellow/white strip wire that you're splicing into make the lights dim-able like the dash lights, or is it only on with the dome light?
I have a 2010 Rubicon if that matters. I read on another forum someone talking about an orange/white wire.
What I want is the lights to come on whenever the dash lights would be on, and I want to make sure they dim with the dimmer switch.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the dumb question.

i like to ride around with them on, so I ordered a dome light housing from a REAR JKU and put that in my 2dr's sound bar. it looks exactly the same, except you can push the lens to turn it off/on. so now i can turn my dome lights on (which turns on my floor lights) then turn the soundbar's dome light off so that its not too too bright in there..
very easy mod. show pics when ur done!
