I would like to know how to install footwell lights on a 2005 honda civic ex. Most people, show to wire it from the dash up to the dome light. I saw another video that wired it to the fuse box and another to the door switch. They did not really explain well on how to hook it up to the fuse box or door switch. Can anyone help me with this?

The new lights need to get hooked into a circuit that either goes to 12v or to ground when the door is opened. The dome light or door switch would accomplish this. The fuse could be used if one of these circuits is available.

Is there a dome light fuse? Depending on the current draw of the light a relay may need to be used.

I checked and did not see the dome fuse under the steering wheel. If i do the door switch. Would i have to do the driver side to the front right door and passanger side to the front left door?

The drivers door, and other doors are not on the same circuit (Inputs to MICU)when dealing with the door switches.

The wiring is already ran into the column that I suggested & easy to tie into.

WHT/BLU = +12V & WHT/BLK = Grounding/Control

and you mentioned it is under the column covers. Where is this located?

Steering column covers, 3/4 screws in lower cover, and release clips at the seams of the 2 halves.
