If you want to make them brighter, just peel off the plastic covering.

Yeah, you could upgrade the bulb and remove the cover, but if you want to do the rear seats too (to match), you might as well upgrade the fronts to custom leds =)

The DIY is idiot proof

The footwell lights everyone is referring too is part of the ambient lighting. It's not intended to light up the footwells bright enough to see anything.

LOL, no, you just have to remove the underdash panel. Follow the wire to the bulb in the panel. The bulb should be able to be pulled out. Take the thin plastic cover off the bulb and reinstall. The cover defuses the light a bit. Easy peasy.

Very true. It's just one LED on each side. It's not super bright.
