Best LED kits (strips? tubes?) to install colored ambient lighting
Are the interior LED kits off of Amazon any good?

Should I get some interior LED light strips?
If you like them that is all that matters! When I got my Fiesta ST it had the led strips you could change the colors on and I thought it was awesome for a day or two then I just left them off - that would be the only downside but that was just me.

I really want to install ambient lighting to my 2013 Acura ILX and get it to look somewhat like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/theacphotography/16033940826/in/photostream/
or at least this: http://www.9thgencivic.com/forum/attachments/lighting/9169d1342659619-diy-better-interior-ambient-lighting-imageuploadedbyautoguide1342659615.906906.jpg
Most of the kits I've been finding come with 4 strips, which would work great if I only wanted to illuminate the footwells or the underseat area. But I also want to put lighting in more visible areas like under the hood of the dashboard, in the cupholders, and maybe some on the doors, but I don't know how to do that without having there be an ugly visible LED strip.
I'm totally confused as to what kind of products I should get for this type of setup and I'm not even sure if it's possible unless it's factory made. Whatever I get, I plan on installing it myself to get the positioning right, and then taking it to a mechanic so that the wiring won't be visible.
If anybody can help me with out with what kind of kits/products I should buy, I would really appreciate it. I'm looking for pink lighting primarily, but would prefer to be able to change the color. Also, I don't care if the lights flash or pulse along with music, but it would be a bonus if that setting was available.
Thanks in advance!
I hate how dim the interior lights are in my 2021 TR OR. I've used VLEDs in the past but their kits are on backorder (and twice the cost of Amazon).
Anyone try and have good luck with using Amazon LED kits? Any horror stories?
I was thinking of getting some of those LED light strips from Autozone that go in your car and plug in to the cigarette lighter. Does anyone have any pros or cons regarding these LED strips? Any reasons why I shouldn't get them? I think they look really cool and I like the way you can change the color and patterns.

I installed some footwell LED strips on my car, and just leave them on to red 100% of the time. They are wired directly to the car and the dome lights so they turn white when I open the doors. All of my interior lights are red (steering wheel buttons, climate control, radio, etc) so it matches.
Pros: Helps me see if I drop anything at night
Cons: Can MAYBE get in trouble with an officer if you ever pulled over and they see the red? I can easily change the color though
