Wouldn't that suck if the one time you get in an accident and your wife or kid was in the front seat and it deployed yet threw shrapnel of the laminate and caused more damage than good? Or a stranger in the car and it's deployment was faulted cause of it and the person dies and the family sues you for everything you own. Looks good but just doesn't seem worth it to me with all the variables that can potentially happen.

I got these LED light strips at Autozone for $30. They are super bright. I wanted the floor lit up better, because even with LED lights in the map lights, the dash makes a shadow and you can't see on the floor very good.
I put one under each side of the dash to light the floors up better. I wired them to the left and right map lights, they come on when you turn on the overhead light for that side or open the door.
Here's pictures of them on and off.
You can see the sun shining in the passenger side and they still light up the floor.
Later I'll put the other lights I have like this on the bottom of the door panel so they light up the ground when the door is open.

BRIGHT! They have a little battery pack in them so you can test them in the store. Even with the little battery pack they were bright in the store.
