For me just a nice touch. I like lights for some reason, especially blue :yes:This is an accessory that I don't quite get.
Can you tell me what the advantage is?
Is genuinely practical or is it just a nice touch?
I don't, my wife sent me out to get some food, and I took the picture with my iPhone while at a traffic light.I like it :thmsup: do you have a pic of the drivers side?
There's nothing wrong with a nice touch. :thmsup:For me just a nice touch.
Just wire an inline switch, probably just a few dollars at radio shack. Easy.The only thing holding me back from doing this is the lack of the On/Off switch. Why oh why did Honda remove that switch from the 8th gen version![]()
The install was fairly easy. Honda's instructions were a bit tricky to me. The wire that normally runs to the Econ button plugs into this harness, and the harness plugs back into the Econ button. This thing piggybacks off the Econ button power in essence. The Sport and the other Accords also have two different light modules. Not only are the sport modules red, but they just twist into the plastic panels on the driver and passenger side. The module for my car (which was blue) had to have a 5mm hole drilled, so a small screw can hold the light module in place. I'm picky about following Honda's directions closely, so it took me about a hour and half. This is really about a 30-40 min job. The kit cost me about $90. The lights stay on anytime the headlights or park lights are on.I like it. What do you get besides the footwell lights? How hard was the install? Are they on all time when the headlights are on, or just in park? Thanks for the picture!
To me the brightness is perfect. I didn't want anything too bright, which is why I did not want to install my own LEDs. The first OEM kit I bought for our 12 Odyssey was pathetic. Holes had to be drilled in the light modules to make them decent. These are just right.Nice, but is it too bright at night?

Absolutely not practical at all and I wouldn't have it if it weren't already on my car when I bought it from the dealer's showroom. Having said that, It really is a nice touch and it's not nearly as pronounced in person as it is in the OP's photo of it. You actually have to look for the blue footwell illumination to be able to see it at night. It's much more evident if you're wearing white sox or shoes, kind of like a blacklight.This is an accessory that I don't quite get.

I appreicate my white footwell lighting I added myself to my 7th generation. Makes it easier to find stuff if it falls on the ground. Mine is wired to the door switches and a master switch so they aren't on all the time.Absolutely not practical at all and I wouldn't have it if it weren't already on my car when I bought it from the dealer's showroom.
