LED footwell lighting

An easy mod that adds a lot more interior light, plus will work if you have a roll bar or missing dome light. We have a complete kit that includes bulbs, brackets and wiring or just have bulbs if your car has factory footwell lighting. As long as your door jam switches are working you can install the complete kit into a car that didn't have lights from the factory. How do you know if you have footwell lighting or not? Picture below is what the factory lighting looked like, some cars don't have the lens thou.

If your car has the factory lighting, the link below has led bulbs for the factory lighting available in white, red or blue.

The complete kit includes everything you need to install, you supply it with constant power and a ground from the door switches (same wiring as the dome light). The kit includes Diode Dynamics HP5 bulbs in white, red or blue - bulbs have a 3 year warranty. Also includes brackets to mount the lights and complete wiring with black loom so the wiring is easy to hide under the dash. Works in all 1982-92 Camaros or Firebirds.

In addition we have led bulbs for dome light, trunk light, map light, mirror and automatic gear indicator. All lights use Diode Dynamics bulbs and include 3rd gen specific install instructions.

Re: LED footwell lighting

The complete kit looks brighter in pictures, but both use the same bulbs. On some years GM positioned the opening for the footwell lights closer to the middle, the earlier years have the lights next to the kick panels.

They are also available in blue or red, but cool white has been the most popular.
