Just buy the OEM footwell illumination kit. You only need a 10mm socket and a phillips screwdriver, but a plastic dash trim tool helps as well (available for $6 at Harbor Freight). The installation process is very simple and basically consists of the following:
1. Disconnect battery.
2. Remove bezel around stereo (it pulls off, but the trim tool makes it easier).
3. Remove stereo head unit (4 bolts and it pulls right out).
4. Disconnect stereo connections.
5. Plug the harness in.
6. Fish the harness wires behind the dash.
7. Stick the lights to the underside of the dash and connect them to the harness.
8. Put the stereo back where you found it.
The kit comes with an instruction sheet that has pictures (attached). Mods don't get much easier.
