Footwell LED lighting '09 Wrangler X

I decided the Next DIY mod I would do on the Jeep would be to add some LED lighting in the footwells.

I picked up two strips of LED lights from autozone and ordered a Daystar Rocker Switch from Amazon.  The LED strips had enough wiring that I didnt require any additional.  The goal for this was to add some light to the footwells wich are very dark.  I wanted to the lights to come on when I turned my headlights on but I also wanted a kill switch so I could turn them off for long drives or if I just didnt want them on at the same time as the headlights.


HOW TO- STACK REMOVAL- First take apart the center stack of the dash.  For me this was very scary.  Ripping into this brand new vechicle and not knowing what I was doing was nerve racking, but I did it.  To remove the center stack first take the lower panel off buy using a screwdirver to pry from the top of it.  It will pop out very easily.  Next is to remove the upper dash panel by using a screwdriver to pry from the back of it and it will pop off easily as well.  This should unveil 4 screws (if i remember correctly) unscrew those and the entire face of the stack will then pop off with some applied force, carefull not to lose the little metal clips. 

WIRING- Once you have access to the wires behind the stack you should see the grouping that goes into the temperature control for heat and air.  The orange and grey wire is the wire to tie into if you want the set up that I desired.  Take the red wires from your LED strips and tie them into that grey and orange wire.  Wire up your switch and your good to go.

Everything re-installs on the stack in Reverse.
