YES! Thanks Chloe. After 30 years of driving trucks and cars with black interiors, I had enough. It was frustrating discovering how many Toyotas have black-only interiors; or, black-only floor areas. The LED lights are a fantastic. Thanks for doing a very clean look and install. I do a lot of night and winter work so dark footwells and floors are never any help. This was a GREAT tutorial. Toyota needs to get you to do the RAVs, Highlanders and Land Cruiser 😁

Question. Can you “shut off” the map lights and interior light with the switch up by the map lights and still have the Footwell lights function when the doors open ? Also, can the nite mode be shut off ? I like a dark interior when I’m driving. My dash lights are as dim as possible and I never use the center radio screen. I see very well in the dark, and simply do not like a lot of light. Thank you for your informative installation videos. Job well done.

I actually use a kit I made myself that turns on with my dome light and has it's own switch as well. I went red on mine. A lot my lights are red in the interior because I really only use or notice them at night and red is really easy on your eyes. It also doesn't cast out super far which I like. I have outside lights in amber and white all around my rig if I need it anyway. Nice job and super clean install.

I used LED strips and they automatically turn on when I turn the truck on; they'll stay on whatever setting they were last on. ran them under the seats instead though, so the light is pretty dim by the top front end of the footwell.

You should suggest that they make these “waterproof” and sell them as puddle lights like the VIP cars. Install them either under the vehicle or under the side mirrors. So when you walk up to the truck or unlock the doors, the puddle lights turn on just like you showed. I used to have that on my car. They saved me a couple of times in dark places, after it rained. I think I might do that instead.
