Hi guys,

Just done the interior footwell modification that i'm sure you are all aware of.. Looks awesome :D I'd quite like to take it an extra step and wire some lights into the rear footwells aswell. Is this possible to do without making any modifications to the battery or upgrading the light to a higher voltage? If not it should work by soldering a few more wires into the interior, right?

Cheers :)
 
Basically it will depend on the overall current running through the system to power the lights. Once that current exceeds the fuse rating, it will blow. Remember the fuse is rated just below the rating of the cabling in the system so putting a higher rated fuse in will result in the cable burning out.
 
If you are using a LEDs then they have a much lower current draw than a W5W interior light bulb which are used in most cars with footwell lights then you're probably ok if you don't go too mad
