    I'm looking to buy some sort of blue LED bar to place under my seats facing towards the rear of the car. My question is what product do you recommend I buy and what should I use to power the LED bars so that there are no visible wires running through the car?

    I might be a little out of line... I also did this when I was in HS with my truck. Do realize that any blue or red (Emergency Colors) if visable flashing or not flashing outside of the cabin can warrant you a ticket in any state.

    I wouldn't stick the lights from the front under the seats. Put them under your dash. I will post up some pics later on how I did it and then for the back seat just go to like meijer and get 3m velcrow and put a strip of it on the back side of the lights and they will stick to the bottom of the seat with no problem

    I was going to have the ones under the seats facing back towards the passengers in addition to the ones under the dash facing forward to the front seats. And I would very much appreciate those pictures, thanks for the advice. Also I am aware that those are emergency colors, I've had a friend who got pulled over because he had two blue LED bars just up in his back window. I don't think that these will be noticeable from the floor outside the car though

    If you use LEDs and have the aimed properly, worst case is at night there might be a faint red (or whatever color) glow coming from inside the cabin. Probably no worse than doing an LED swap on your dash lights and gauge cluster. So I wouldn't worry about it.

    Is there an easy dash illumination cable to get at for this that you could just split so that way they turn on when the dash lights do automatically when it's dark?

    just splice it into the gauge cluster lights or so. even the light switch. then you're all good to go.
