Default Interior lighting question

I would like to wire the two lights under the dash (the ones that light up the area where the pedals are) to my headlights...so at night the floor is lit up. I checked the faq's area and did a search on this and found nothing....has anyone tried this? All my lights are red inside the car and i think it may look pretty cool to have the floor mats illuminated at night while my high beams are on. Can anyone help?

Default o yes I have spent tons of time doings this

I have the factory foot box lights red when you open the door. Then I ran small little lights from radio shack in the foot box and ran them in the fog light fuse so every time the head lights are on they come on. Then I ran red 12 inch neons in the foot box with a custom switch in the ash tray and got the power from the cig fuse. Any questions let me know.
