    Had my footwell lighting installed na. Unfortunately, it only works for the driver side door. So kung naka open lang yun driver side na door lang siya naglight up.

    Anybody know if I can get this to work for all the doors?

    Did anyone say "footwell lighting?"
    I hooked these up by myself. They're not LEDs, but CCFLs.

    Would such footwell lights better activated through the parklights rather than through door lighting system?

    How are they hooked up? Do they light up when you open the doors? Or does it turn on via switch?

    I'm actually using the same lighting as you. CCFLs which used to be in my trunk.

    The wires for the CCFL ballast/igniter are hooked up to the interior fusebox. It's a matter of finding the correct sockets in the fusebox to thread these wires into.

    After that, it was just a matter of securing the CCFL tubes themselves and the ballast/igniter. I used zip ties for the CCFLs and plastic twine for the igniter.

    They come on when any of the doors are open (except for the rear hatch - the car's a Jazz). The CCFL kit I got had a switch but I haven't wired it in yet - didn't know how to integrate it.

    think it'll be easier if you trace the common wire from the dome light to have all LED's light up on any door opened
