Led Dome Light

The Toyota Prius C does not have a passenger dome light. I need it to put my baby in the car seat at night time. So I have to DIY the LED and wired form the front map lights. I have the moon roof so it was easy to run the wires under the trims there.

Blue LED Turns

The tinted windows with the blue lights looks like black lights from outside.

What I use is a led strip, ebay will have a lots of them. I search for daytime running lights.

also led bulbs that you can replace the current once on the map light.

For the wires, I use old speaker wires.
