Ignore my message Gabriel, I see you worked it out! 

[Phil №❶]

When you say foot well lights, do you mean the official Hyundai ones, or are you open to suggestions.

BTW, Welcome. 

[gabreilfallen1]

Im open to suggestions. ..........just want them so badly lol im a big kid again

There's the expensive way ordered through Hyundai which will preserve your warranty, or there's the much cheaper DIY way, which involves a bit of thought and technical knowhow, compromises your warranty but provides a truly custom fitting.

The cheaper way would be to source some led strips from ebay, use waterproof type. Choice of colour is up to you, or you could select RGB Type and dial your own colour. Where you place them and how you do it, is entirely up to you. An auto electrician would easily be able to fit them if you're not confident.

Here is a link to the RGB type, WARNING, be careful, some sneaky suppliers advertise RGB type because they have a red, green, blue, led in sequence  You can not alter these type of lights.

Not exactly expensive, but requires some adjustment to make it suitable for a car.

I added nice electric blue to my wife's SEAT Cordoba. You said 'footwells' and that's precisely where I put them, high and deep under the dash, wired via the door switch loom influencing the operation of the interior dome light. Your desire to interact with headlights indicates you don't really mean to use them in the footwells.

[gabreilfallen1]

I do intend to put them in footwells. I wanted them on light switch as my wife also drive the car and she thinks they are silly .......... ( I think sheis silly ) lol.......but anyway back to my point I do all the night driving but I think its to big a job for me. Think im gonna have to pay a vehicle electrition . But I will probley end up with crap cigarette lighter ones

[Shambles]

Someone posted a link in the past couple of days, to a foreign parts supplier, which sells these. At that site is a walk-through of that specific job (I know, as I clocked it myself) and iirc it was showing as a 0.7 hour job, but it involved removing so much stuff from around and under the dashboard.

I'll see if I can (re)locate it.

I personally don't like lights inside the car while I am driving at night.  I even have the instrument cluster turned down as much as I can.  I started doing this after I started flying and found out about night vision (not the goggle type) and what can destroy it.  I would rather see outside the vehicle, and only just be able to see the instruments.

The link I can't find (yet) had the lights linked to the interior dome.

I think gabreilfallen1 wanted them linked to the dipped and/or high beam lights.

Couse I would like ti change the peddles next......................also thanx for all your help guys exceptbthe gonz but every one else you have been a real help thanx......... will fallow with pics later.

[gabreilfallen1]

...also thanx for all your help guys exceptbthe gonz ...

Gonz was only posting what others were thinking... they'd be better linked to the dome lights so they go off when your interior lights go off, but hey if you want them on all the time (switched) then that's upto you buddy

On a sub note I have 2 peddles in car, clutch / brake and the third is more of a paddle type thing can this be changed to a pedal like the other 2.

What no accelerator or is this what your referring to as a paddle or possibly you mean the foot rest There are aluminium pedal kits available though Hyundai and overseas suppliers 2012+ i30 Sport Aluminum Pedal Set - Korean Auto Imports but none that I've seen yet have the aluminium cover for the foot rest.

[AlanHo]

The accelerator pedal in the 2013 i30 is the organ type. I think it would be a major job to change the arrangement because it would involve not just mounting a new pedal hinged at the top - but also re-engineering the throttle sensors.

[Phil №❶]

I think you got what you wanted. 

[gabreilfallen1]

there we go eventually lol  let me know what you guys think............I have them on a separate switch so they can be switched on or off or set to come on when engine starts. I like couse they are subtle not to bright they also have a stupid feture that lets them flicker to music...............that was disabled..........................also forgit to post l.e.d rear light will do that the now. but again let me know your opinions guys and gals

[Phil №❶]

Why not set them to flicker, to annoy your wife. 

AND

1. Did you buy them as a car accessory unit from a shop, they seem to have been fitted very quickly.

2. If I may ask, what was the total cost.

[gabreilfallen1]

it annoys me too but  then im left with a hard decision annoy her or me or really annoy her and medley inconvienence myself.......................... let me see
