I tied my Floor lights into the Light above my cup holders. So they are always on when the marker/HL are on. Its just they way I wanted them.
That's a great idea! I have mine tied into the dome lamp but I like the idea of a little under dash lighting all the time. Which lights did you use for that? The ones I have under there now (12 LED Blue) would be too bright to have for accent lighting.

Mine are pretty bright, but I dont find them distracting at all anymore, or to much when I put them in.
I bought them off Ebay, They are the FLAT LED Strips, not sure how many it is. The Pass. side has a nice place for it to stick to and face directly down to.

I used to have some other LED stripe ones in my 2k Dak, But I found they where hard to get pointing in a direction. These ones work great, drivers side takes a little trickery. I might make a flat bracket to stick them to.

Like these ones

yeah, the passenger side is easy on the bottom edge of the glove box, on the driver side, I had to get creative...I should take a pic, but I used velcro to attach the light strip to the bottom of the dash and a part if the steering shaft,

Iirc, the one in the back can be pried out with a small screwdriver. If you have an overhead console, there is one screw in the front next to the windshield that has to come out, phillips head I believe and then the console pulls out towards the rear of the truck. Proper punctuations and grammar would make it easier to understand your question.
