I know there is other topics about this but none actually give me the info I need/want, or I dont get it lmao

Im looking at installing some RGB LED footwell lights, ideally hooked upto the dome, but I think it would be easier to use accessory power with something like this (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Carbon-Kit-C ... Sw3v5YopE6) attached

Could people give me recommendations on which strips to purchase, as i want quality not just cheap shit from ebay!!

Ive ordered some blue led dome lights too, completing the interior lighting setup!

Cheers guys!!

If you don't want cheap maybe buy the plug and play kit from Mitsubishi.. Its around the $300 mark though. I have that kit installed in my Evo X and it works just as good as some $5 led strips from Ebay I fitted to my wife's VRX CJ Lancer. In my honest opinion just grab some ones off Ebay. LEDs don't have huge current draw so you could use a switch and hook up to the dome light wire its located to the side of the glove box on the BCM.

I am just worried about the quality, I want something that is going to last ages and is a good product, you just cant guarantee that with ebay sellers
Ooh mitsu is a bit steep though (casual 17yo restaurant worker steep)
Got any advice on which to grab? Im thinking of maybe getting some that connect via cigarette and splicing that into a fuse tap connected to the dome
or isnt that a fuse
Im new to cars in general but am so keen to learn haha

I'm sorry but the factory foot well lights look cheap imho. They blind you.
Personally i just fitted led strips and fitted them to the underside of dash and front seats.
