Yet Another Installation of Footwell Lighting

Nice write up and install. I added them as well but took an easier route and wired off the dome light. I did not use a switch - they function exactly like the lights on the doors (dim/fade/on) but also manually turn on when you click the dome light. I used 2 trunk lights but reduced the bulbs to 5W to match. The light in the passenger footwell is in the foam liner. For the driver's side, I mounted the light in a piece of plexiglass supported by the HVAC duct.
