I finally got around to installing the genuine footwell lighting kit from GM. I picked the kit up off of eBay as it seems out of stock at most GM part suppliers. I did see the kit pop up available on Amazon at the time of this post for anyone looking: https://amzn.to/3uzV8qs

I tried to make the video fairly detailed and in depth. An "easy" install that is made difficult because of the location and how hard it is to access a lot of the stuff especially in the passenger footwell, lol. The primary trouble area is removing the rear 2 bolts of the 4 bolts needed to be removed to drop the tray piece under the glove box.

The footwell lighting with this kit sync's with your spectrum light settings and looks pretty good. It's not super bright but adds a little extra accent to your car. GM really should be including footwell lighting standard with all cars with spectrum lighting, IMO. Even my wife's 2019 Ecoboost Mustang has footwell lighting that syncs with her interior light selected colors without being some extra option.

The post here on Camaro6 by EarthToGreg, https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=501526, was helpful as was his video linked in his post

Here is the gen5diy pdf for anyone who may need it as well (found this after I installed everything as it went missing from the gen5diy website, lol): https://www.camaro6.com/forums/attac...0&d=1623542539

Awesome video. Once again the internet makes me want something i didn't know existed. And you are right, this definitely should've been there from the factory on the ZL1 and 2SS models.

Thank you! And yes.. I mean, it would of cost GM $20 to include this from the factory? Lol. My wife's ecoboost premium Mustang has footwell lighting AND interior door handle lighting all sync'd with her dash and everything and GM can't even throw in footwell lighting on their $50k+ cars... that's kind of lazy/cheap/sad.

I’ve wanted this for a while but I just can’t justify the price. I wired in a simple light tied to the door to get some light. Doesn’t change color or anything but gets the job done. Cost like 15$ with AutoZone leds and some wire taps

Yeah, GM def wants to get paid for this kit which probably costs them $5 to manufacture, lol.

Just installed the footwell kit this afternoon. Thanks for the video Willzilla!! I watched it twice to make sure I remembered all of the steps. I also didn't break the clip on the harness thanks to you pointing out which way it slides. It was relatively easy other than trying to contort a 55-year old carcass in a small footwell was a challenge. I was able to get all 4 screws back in the cover, but it wasn't easy. Thanks again!!

Haha, awesome! No problem, glad you got it! I was sore for the rest of the day after wedging my big self under the dash haha.
