yea the interior light is your best bet, i would say Red wire aswel, but just get a multi meter on it to test which wire is which.

Wire your lights to their own kill-switch; that way you can have them on without having any other lights on

Oh right sorry

@ the OP - not a fan of the bumper so I'm glad you have it off lol

The lights in the footwells are handy if you do drop something down there, I think that's the only reason I had them in my last car when I had the ICE in.
Might stick them into the 172 as well, haven't thought about it yet TBH.

how would i do that ???

Run them off a live feed from the battery maybe?

I had mine installed along with alarm & other bits so didn't do it myself.
The switch was just a basic on/off switch in the dash pocket beside the headlight level adjuster, along with my alarm & sub volume control

Someone on here will have more knowledge about car electrics and point you in the right direction
