Blue light in the footwells

I have been following this thread on MINI2 where someone bought blue “cold cathode” lights and replaced the MINIs footwell lighting - the lights are intended to light the inside of “show” PCs, and are bright and a nice color for an Indi Blue MINI.
I found some similar but larger lights at CompUSA (Mad Dog Techie Toyz MD-S-CLK-BU, CompUSA 306945), and decided to install them in GBMINI. Here is the result:

“Ooooh” ;)
I found a connector at work that mated to the MINIs interior light wiring, and the rest was easy - just using lots of double sided tape to hold everything in place! Some more pics here.

    Just be careful, because it uses a inverter/transformer. The car dims that light on and off, and many transformers die very quickly due to dimming.
    So is a ground effects kit next? ;)
