Footwell Lights That Don’t Suck

Glad you were taken care of! Overall we’ve only had a hand full of equipment failures, which at scale is always going to happen. Relatively speaking these kits have been surprisingly robust for the number of components.

It looks like a dual color option may be possible in the distant future. There’s a few ideas for some designs but there isn’t a timeline. I’ll keep this thread updated as we move through the priority list. As of now I’m prioritizing a few 4th gen mods; footwell lights being one of them as it looks like Toyota missed those yet again.

 

Nope, you have.

It's on the doors, easy T to footwells.

 

Yes those are in the door, though, correct?

 

Yes, T to footwell, easy peasy.

 

I have a couple people with 4th gens that have mentioned the courtesy lights don’t have ambient illumination while the door is closed, so a T from that 2-pos would just handle the door open/closed. I’ll shoot you a PM.

 

"Under" dash center of Driver's and one for passenger.

Edit:

 

I look forward to your dual color!!!

 

Looking to purchase these soon - is it possible to buy direct? Some of the vendors linked in post #1 are sold out, or have wildly different pricing.

Thanks

 

I always have bought direct from Vleds

 

Direct would be through VLEDS -- use the first link. The most accurate ETA and inventory will always be through that link. I think 5000K and aqua are the only ones that aren't in stock because more bars are being produced at the moment, but the rest should be ready to go with a bunch more currently on order.

 

roger ty, did not notice the info in your username!

 

I have also noticed a slight flickering.

 

Haven't noticed the brakes disturbing it, but when I'm starting the truck they do flicker. My workaround is waiting a moment for them to dim before hitting the starter.

Other than that I love them. Who would've thought some subtle lighting would make such a difference. If the exterior puddle lamps were as easy to install I'd do that as well.

 

The puddle lights aren’t that bad to install, well worth it lol

 

I suppose I never really paid much attention, but I did at a stop light and noticed they do occasionally slightly dim when the brake lights are activated. It's not consistent but it does happen.

 

Do these work with the auto headlight options or do I manually have to turn on parking/low beams for them to work?

 

To answer, yes they'll automatically turn on.

There are 3 modes:

1. Full brightness when the doors are open.
2. Off once the doors are shut (linked to your dome light).
3. Dim when the headlights/parking lights are on.

 

Yes they will work; they are not tied to your headlight stalk position. They are tied to the state of your dash lights, so assuming the auto headlights trigger your dash lights then the footwell lights will also turn on.
