Interior footwell lighting

[torque124]

Hi all,

My car does not seem to have any lights in the footwell... Or I can't see it. I have the dimming on max brightness, etc.
Have I been dreaming, or this car DID have footwell lights, at least when you open the door and get into it ?

I remember on my GT500 I was able to change the colors too, and last night I was trying to do that on the GT350, and could not find it in the menu; then I realized (where is that facepalm now) it was my previous car , doh...

Anyway, do you guys have lighting there ?

Many thanks

Added it, led colored strips front and rear, remote lets u set brightness and color, subtle and a bit ghetto, oh well

So... I am correct in assuming it has none by default ?

Thanks

That is correct, there is no footwell illumination by default. There are a few aftermarket kits like this:

Alpena 24-Inch Max LED Strip

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Alpena-24-Inch-Max-LED-Strip/49963960

$7 (rollback regular price $30) for the white ones. Best quality led period and very bright.

Run the power cable to the passanger side kick panel where the harness is. + Grey/purple strip and - to the bolt.

Footwell lighting installation question - haven't been able to find an answer anywhere else, hoping this is the right place. I'm for sure an amateur at this so go easy on me.

I don't have existing footwell lighting or my color in my car, so installed the footwell lighting from Diode Dynamics. I tapped the grey and purple wire in the passenger side kick panel, so the lighting turns on when the doors open and close...which is great! But how do I maintain that function, while also being able to turn the lights on and off via a switch or button? Has anyone found a tutorial on this or installed this type of setup themselves?

Thanks in advance!

The standard interior lighting is lacking, especially for an all black interior. I added bright white LED bulbs to the overhead dome lights. They light up the cabin nicely, including the foot wells when the doors are opened. Just an option if you are not into a project to install aftermarket foot well lighting.

When you say bright, which ones did you install? I am interested in doing the same. Many thanks!

I swapped to bright white LED bulbs. They significantly improve the interior lighting when the door opens, even lighting the footwells. I believe I purchased them from SuperBright LEDs.

This is on my list... was hoping that with the 2019 refresh they would add some footwell lighting as well as the MY COLOR option... but no avail..
They did improve the interior though and granted my wish for the cobra puddle lamps LOLL....

Interior lighting and customization LEDs are much in fashion right now in the car biz. Tech has overtaken performance for most buyers. The ShelbyGT350 is targeting driving and track capability over creature comforts. I think the interior lighting / digital dash decision fell into the GT500 bucket. that said, the only feature I seriously miss is a front / 360 camera to save the splitter and wheels from curbs.

Many thanks man! Do you remember if they were Cool 6500k, Natural 4100k, or warm 3000k. That is what is listed for options on their site. I am also assuming that 2019 mustang bulbs will fit a 2020 GT350, because its not listed as an option, only mustang.

I went with cool. Yes the bulb sizes are the same as the standard Mustang. Not a good pic (posted earlier in another thread with other interior trim mods I made), but you get an idea of the color temp. The oem bulbs are very yellow and dim.

Yeah you know for a halo car, lacking the digital dash you can get in the 4cyl, V8 etc... as well as the lack of the customizable interior lighting, I'm a bit disappointed. Just a bit... but still...
