Nice Project
I routed the driver side wire up behind the passanger side cup holder and across the dashboard, tucking the wires below the middle aircond ducts and down behind the steering wheel to the footwell light opening.
I used a long stick with some sticky tape (to attach the wire to the stick) and pushed the wire through all the 'nook and crany'. Yes, you will need to remove the centre wood trim for this. I rather this than removing the footwell panels.
Also did a current test with a 9v battery- normal bulb drew 198 milliamp, a 3 bulb LED drew 5.6 milliamp.
Normal bulbs will shorten the life of your battery!!
