How do you install the Footwell Illumination Kit (H201SSC000) in the '09 FXT/WRX/STI?
How do you install the Footwell Illumination Kit (H201SSC000) into the '09 FXT/WRX/STI? How does it work? Does it sense the car is in Park or the door is open?

They are on all the time the lights are on.
The driver side bolts injust above the Data Link Connector and on the Forester I believe it double side taped to the foot well under tray on the passenger side. The harness then plugs in line with the mood light in the front console cubby. |

Really? That seems dumb IMO. Light pollution while driving FTL.
I turn down all my interior/cluster light as dim as possible but still readable when driving especially on the highway. I've got blue footwell CFLs installed, wired to a switched feed from the cig lighter. $12 plus about 45 mins for the install using these: http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a...NVERTER/1.html Had to extend one set of the leads but it was cake. The switch is on the center console where the heated seat switches would be. |

I have all my interior light off but that dim trunk light - I know where my seat it, I know where the floor is... Not trying to be a smart ass - I don't like interior light when I open / unlock the car because it's gives schmucks a chance to peer into your car if they are walking by as you get in / unlock it. And as I said while driving I like the interior as dim as possible as well so I can best see the road (it's negligible but I prefer it) I only need the switched lights for when I drop crap or need a dim mood light. |

does the red kit match the 08 wrx/sti gauges or is it more of a deeper red?

In-line switch
I just bought an Impreza. It already has the illumination kit installed. Anyone know how I would put an in-line switch, so that I can shut it off when I wish?

Along the same lines of what winnis was asking, my factory installed 09 sti red led kit illuminates the shifter pocket when the headlights are on, but the footwell lighting is more of a courtesy light that turns on with an open door and then fades after it is closed.
Is there a way to run them all of the time like the pocket light? Does anyone know why the factory installed kit appears to work differently than the one you buy? |

looks good but I would figure it would only be on when you open the door and shut off when you close the door.

? Seems like a pretty simple install to me? What's your question regarding the install?

My parents 07 Acura MDX has foot well lights in white (to match dials) and they are on when ever lights are on.

Why do people really worry what other people think of how your car looks. i rocked a wing on my mirage for years, took the abuse, but I left it on b/c I liked it. I thought peer pressure stopped making people do/not do things once high school was over...

I just bought some random blue leds for my floor and wired them into the dome light so when the door opens they turn on, and when you close it they dim off
