Well tonight I ran some LED strips underneath the dash and wow I should have done this earlier looks great.
The last picture is a better representation of the true color that it looks like I think the flash was on in the other picture.
What do you guys think?

Looks great I did the same thing to my truck in blue and my cousins truck but his has a color wheel that you can choose the color. Sorry for the terrible pictures but you can see for the most part. Front and back. I used the rear 12v power and spliced it so I can still use it, then wired it to a toggle switch in between the seat and center counsil.

12 inch strips and I wired it up to the battery and grounded it out to the seat. With a toggle switch under the dash with an inline fuse. Pretty easy once I figured out how to do it. But since this was my first electrical wiring job it took a while. Haha but I'm happy with the results.

If I did it again I would do it with a lot less wire and less fuses. Haha never done it before so it was all trial by error. But 40 for the strips and probably another 40 in wire, inline fuse, fuses, crimpers, and a switch

That's not too bad! I have a buddy that works at a car audio shop in Auburn. He might be able to hook me up with some of that stuff. It looks awesome tho.
