Default opinions wanted

I am am going to purchase 2 sets of led strips inside my car under teh dash so they illuminate the floor when u enter the vehicle. I was wondering if anyone has done this and if they could tell me how difficult it is to do. Also i need opinions on whether to go with red or blue. I have a 2007 mazda3 S Touring in Phantom Blue mica but all the interior lights are red so i dont know if i should continue with the red theme or add some more blue. Below is the link to what i am purchasing with photos of both

wire the led strips into the ignition.
that way they turn on when you turn the key

LED's dont get very hot at all, and use very little power.

If you want them to come on with ther door lights, you will have to wire them into that switch.
I might wire them into the head/running lights though sincethey would glow for more than 10-20 secs @ a time and since you'd only see them @ night anyhow.

im with virgin on that one. get the blue cuz it looks good. i mean red is nice and all but i find blue looks better when your talking about the look of your car. red is more like well the radio is blue but the spedometer and the tach is blue i love that. so get the blue defintly
