tried LEDs, but they were just not bright enough in red...so went to 6 inch neon tubes. One switch works 2 tubes...one in each footwell.
I have the OEM footwell lighting as well, but these go on an off with the door lights...wanted something to stay on. The reds match perfectly.

Did a set in my fiance's 8 as well. She went purple...which ends up looking very much like the blue LED's posted above.

The DIY for OEM rewire runs them off the parking light switch, so they're on whenever the parking lights are on.
I bought the OEM set on ebay for ~$40 and did the install myself. It was a little confusing, and I gave up the first day I tried it, re-read everything, and did it right in about an hour on my second attempt. I like the look and intensity - enough that it's noticable, but no so bright that it interferes with normal night driving (including 15% tint).
