I imagine they are just spliced together and ran behind radio, over trans hump. Looks nice 006

ok was I suppose to cut the wires.. then connect them back together with the wire from the LED strip??? cause I did.. n now the dome n map lights won't come on... =/
Dude, you were supposed to splice into the wires and not cut them.
By cutting them, you just cut the power to your dome lighting :bash:
twisting them back together is fail waiting to happen. You could have easily used wire taps and connected these. But, since you have already cut them, get someone who knows how to solder fix these wires and be sure to cover them properly with heat-shrink tubing or something similar (electrical tape is not going to cut it). When you get these soldered up you can connect the leds.
Since you mention "no go" you probably burnt the fuse for the dome. Check and replace if necessary
heres mine
did this last summer.

FWIW I found the fuse in the panel that turns on w the parking lights. I soldered a wire onto the fuse and tied in from there.
You don't need any damn heat shrink tubing. Bend the soldered joint back over the wire then electrical tape it tightly. And please don't do disco red!
Nice!
That would look great! I'm not feeling the red, but that's just $.02. I think bright white would look killer, or even just more of a "natural" light color as well. I definitely want to do this! I think that the "going to the fuse box" route would be easiest though.
I think I also saw at one point, not sure if it was this site or not, that someone fixed some LEDs up and under the outside door handles to come on when you hit the "unlock" button on your key fob, to come on and shine on the ground by your door... looked sweet and super clean. These were also wired into the dome light as well, to where they'd stay on when you unlock your car and shut off once you're in with the door closed.

Here's my white LED strip in the trunk, finally I can see! Looks the same in the footwells.

I ran a wire from my dome light down the pillar to under the dash . Used the cut to length l.e.d. strips from auto zone . Its so bright at night when you open the door it lights up my yard a bit !
