I've already changed the front ones.You can have it plug n play from Ali. That's what I've done.

But pls note that this Ali part number leds are a bit brighter than ours so I ordered an extra 2 and changed the fronts as well. After all they are dimmable so you can adjust it as you like.
Good job. I've been thinking of doing this and would be interested to know how you fixed the lights and routed the cables. I had thought of cutting into carpet, maybe??You can have it plug n play from Ali. That's what I've done.

Pretty straight forward then, gonna order a set.Just lift the front seats all the way up and you'll easily figure out where the new lights are mounted.
As for the wiring think of it as a Y. One female plug to insert the existing plug (comes from the bcm) that powers the fronts, one new male plug to now power the fronts and the long part with a male one to go to the back. Routing is pretty straightforward. You just follow the existing wiring that goes to the seats for the airbags etc. So you take both front door sill plastics and send the wire under the carpet and towards the seats. The carpet is pre-cut so there is no way to go wrong.
Maybe this can help as well.

Amazing, nice one - just ordered myself a set too, plus based off what you said added an extra pair of just the lights so that front/back match in brightness
I've just installed some on my 2018 FR. I just cut the connector off and spliced into original loom behind each original light. Now just waiting for some red LEDs to match the front.
Don’t fancy cutting connections tbh, heard horror stories of seat electronics and don’t fancy messing something up. Did you have to cut some foam away from under the seat where the light would sit? I’ve found the hole for it but the foam is pressed right up to it. Think I might just leave it
Yes. I cut away some of the foam and they work fine. I've wired another boot light and a 12v socket in boot by splicing into original wiring with no problems. But I understand your concern if you're not happy doing that.Don’t fancy cutting connections tbh, heard horror stories of seat electronics and don’t fancy messing something up.

These are the adaptors that came with mine. You can probably find them cheaper on Ali
Did you get the red leds yet? Looking good? Do you have a link to them. I’ve found some adapters for the wiring loom to fit the cars original connections, going to fit them soon
