Blue LED under dash and behind seats accent lighting

I've always been fascinated with interior accent lighting, heck I'm also into exterior accent lighting but this post is just the beginning of the lighting.

Fairly simple install, parts were cheap and time was a few hours.

I added a total of 4 blue LED lights, two under the dash and two behind the seat.

LED's were from Super Bright LEDs

Add-A-Fuse from Amazon

The rest was just simple wiring connectors and 18 gauge wire for power and ground.

I added the Add-A-Fuse to the fuse panel and jumped the Dashlights circuit so it comes on with my headlight. I soldered the wiring to make clean connections. The ground in the dash was just added to a screw as the body is the ground. And in the rear, I just drilled a hole in the top crease to make a ground.

The pics aren't the best but you can tell how it will look. As you might know, photographing lighting never comes out clearly but you can see how they look.

I've included 3 pics.

First - From inside the cab looking under the dash.
Second - From inside the bed looking inside the truck.
Third -Form the front of the truck looking inside.

For about $32 and a few hours of time, I think it's pretty bad ass!
