For models without interior lighting, here's a cheap option:

Front and rear views. Light color and brightness can be adjusted via included remote.

It has a USB-A power cord which can be hardwired directly to the wiring behind the front USB ports, but if you want the quick and easy version, just plug it in from the front.

The control unit and wires can be hidden behind the driver kick panel.

In order for the remote to work, the extension cable with infrared receiver must be exposed in the gap above the panel.

Hanging the LED strips in the front is easy, just affix with the adhesive to a flat surface under the dashboard. For the rear, I tucked the wires under the center console and then zip tied them to brackets underneath the front seats, making sure the wires don't get in the way of the seat rails.

Finally, I just left a few inches of the USB power cable hanging so I could easily plug/unplug it to the front USB port. Of course, you could just keep it plugged in and use the remote to power it on/off.

Happy modding!
