Rear Seat LED strip lighting
On my quest to mod my car with everything that has been building up I just purchased LED lights for the doors, reverse and license plates. I also have the illuminated sills, roll up module as well the chrome dead pedal I will be installing very soon. My last mod for now is LED strip lighting for the rear seats. I am looking for red and as of now V-led.com is out of stock. Can anyone tell me where else is a good place to get red LED strip lights for the rear seat footwells.
Also I am a noobie to auto wiring as some people might know and have been putting off the illuminated sills for fear of f****** up the car and/or wiring. I finally decided to just say f*** it and just do it. I am a planner and over thinker and have been reading and rereading instructions and tips from other members for the illuminated sill installation. Now I am asking again for help and overview of how to wire the LED's from the rear seat footwells to the front of the car. I want the rear LED's to come on like the front one's do as in when the headlights/parking lights come on. Any help would be appreciated and of course pics will follow once I'm all done.
Thanks to all

I think user Steven Bell has rer footwell lighting via LED strips as well. Search some of his threads.

It all depends how bright you want it to be. I have one of these:

In blue in the front in each footwell and it was so bright that I needed to black out 2 LED's on each module. I also didn't want something so bright that it was distracting while I drove. I just wanted something more blue (not as green) and a bit brighter than stock.

I do have the rear footwell LED strips. I got the 10 inch LED's and mounted them on the kickplate of the back seat bench. In other words, they are up and underneath the rear seat. That way they are not underneath the front seat and susceptible to people kicking them.
Here is a dark, bad picture-obviously I'm sorry for the poor quality. Hopefully, I explained it well enough that this makes sense.
