Isn't it just some under dash and seat lighting?

Why pay the huge premium for a Honda kit, it's just a few leds and some wiring.

Re: interior illumination kit

i got it, in case anyone is wondering and gets the crazy idea to install this, most of it doesnt fit. the switch is totally different and useless. the fuse box connector was completely different. so what i did was solder on a 6 pin connector i had leftover from my fog light kit, then fixed parts of the wire harness so that the switch is bypassed and the leds are "constant-on" all the time whenever the park lights are on (power from the fuse box dash light wire). otherwise i reused most of the harness and cleanly installed it. it came with 3 led pods. two were the same color blue and one was more of a purple. i put the blue ones on each side of the center console and stuck the purple one in the glove box. the modules are visible during the day, but they look clean enough to pass for oem. at night they are decently bright and light up the front footwells nicely. i have the leds facing at a downward angle so they dont bother me while driving. each pod has two low power smt blue leds. red wouldve been better, but oh well. and i can simply unplug them from the fuse box if they get annoying. pics coming soon.
