I'm looking for ideas on lighting the floorboard with led's. Also would like to have an outside led to come on at night when the remote is depressed. Please share you idea's.

Hate to do this to you but this is a fairly common question. Just do a forum search and they'll pop up.

I bought a roll of 300 LEDS from EBAY. It was 5 meters long and you can cut it to any length you need. You will to solder your wiring on the end of the pieces you cut.

I have some LED's strips i installed into the footwell of my JK and they do a nice job of lighting up the all black interior but i want more. I found that Rigid makes some LED interior lights for RV's that put out either 315 or 420 lumens, so Im going to order some those LED's and install them in the upcoming week.

I wired them to the dome light wire where it drops down in the B pillar.

between the front and rear doors.

A pillar comes down the side of your windshield
B pillar is the next support by your shoulder as you are sitting in the seat.

I'm not sure what wires he tapped into, but I would want them switched...and to power where you have to have teh truck in the ON/ Run position. LED's draw very little, but would not want to come out to a dead battery if they were left on by accident.

The "strip" LED's are easy enough to find on ebay/ Amazon, etc. they are fairly easy to mount as most 3M tape works with them. I used the ORO pods on mine, but do not have them hooked to power yet. I have 8 for underbody (rock lights), one in each footwell, and two under the hood. 3 switches for all these and teh amp draw is next to nothing. ...a bit pricey though.

i want to put some first by my feet, where do you think the best spot to wire those is?

I tied into the wire going up to the dome light. I think the wire is gray with a yellow tracer. I will check tomorrow to make sure. i installed a 1 amp fuse on the led's so it would blow before the dome light fuse. The led's work with the dome light, them turn on and off with the dome lights and slowly dim out with the dome light. The led's that i bought are weathrerproof and have the 3m double sided tape on them. The hardest ting to do was soldering the wire on the led strips.

I used the following lengths of leds
18" under the dash along the bottom edge (driver and passager sides)
(3) 12" under each of the front seats
(4)8" under the rear seat on each of the front supports
(2) 2' under the body just behind the running boards.
