Default Pics of Interior Footwell (LED SWAP) Carista

Here are couple pics I took of my new LED footwell lights. Now the Carista option to leave the footwell lights on while driving actually creates a Nice Ambience. I'll take more from the outside of the Car looking in when I get a Chance. It was definitely worth the swap even though others may think otherwise. Let the Trolling Begin.

+1 looks good, at least you can lower it down if it's too bright. Where did you get the bulbs from? What are the specs of the LED bulbs? Thanks

I've seen footwell ambience lighting but I like them in a complementary color and dimmed down, with the normal footwell courtesy lights nice and bright to enable you and your passengers to see the floor.
Just another opinion

Thanks Guys. They're definitely complimentary to the other LED's I have. I did a full LED swap and now they all match. Also if I don't want them that bright I can dim them if I want. @jedinyte120 I ordered them from Deautokey.com Just make sure you order the right ones because they have ones for Standard, and ones for Q's that have LED already. @Jason if you want to drive with them on you can order the Carista adapter and Carista App and enable the Footwell lights for driving. Just look under Carista's posts and follow the Directions. Also make sure you check the lights at night because you can't see them during the day. If you want them brighter you have to swap for new LEDS.

Or maybe Paul you can post a pick of the footwell led you got. Thanks

Is it possible that I DON'T have footwell lights??

I haven't seen them come on whatsoever...evening or daytime.

Am I doing something wrong??

Thanks,

Jason

Jason,
Go into a dark garage and have your headlight on. It's very subtle but the footwell lights are there.
