Installing LED footwell lights on Seat Ibiza Cupra

These are the LED's I will be using:

I picked them up off of Amazon for quite cheap but I know they are a decent quality.

I've already run the wiring in on the passenger side it looks like this:

Step 1 - Remove the fuse for the interior light.

Step 3 - Unscrew the interior light (two screws).

It should fall down like this.

Step 4 - Take out the interior light bulb and loop the wire and wrap it around the interior light bulb holder.

Step 5 - Remove the sun-visor and pull the A-Frame cover off slightly.

Step 8 - Using fine sandpaper, rub the surface of the LED's so the light scatters better as LED's can be quite direct.

Step 9 - Connect the LED's to the wire from the interior light and use bullet connector to hold them tightly in place.

Step 10 - Attach the LED lights in the footwell! These LED's came with adhesive on the back but I cable tied as well just incase the adhesive fails at a later point.

And there we have it! LED lit footwells! I will take a few photos tonight when you can really see them. But I am really happy with how it went. It took about 2 hours and is a really cheap mod!

Any queries or questions leave a comment and I will respond ASAP!v
