Putting leds in some places Good?

Ok I want to know what everyone thinks before I do this. I am thinking of putting leds in the head rest and vents of my car. Also I am thinking of getting leds to light up when my car doors open so you can see the ground. Almost every light in my car glow red. Do you guys think it will be rice?????
??

The head rests with leds in them kinda sound like rice. But I think it would look cool if the lights came on when the doors were open.

Ok, I know for sure i want leds under the doors and when they open they will light up the ground so you can see. As of now im just looking for ideas. The only lights i haven't changed are the ones for the sun roof controls, They will be changed soon tho.

Red sounds pimp but make shore its legal in your state, cuz here in FL Red (pure red) and Blue (pure blue) lights are reserved for emergence vehicles only and if your cough with a blue or red light that is visabel to a cop they will ticket you and tell you to get rid of the lights or get a differnt color. I would LOVE to get blue neon under my car but its illegal and would have to go with green or somen but I want BLUE damnit

In FL, there can't be any red or blue lights visible from the FRONT of your vehicle.... But none the less, I say do everyting except the headrests.

To get the LED's to come on when you open the door & light up the ground (your talking about having them under the car?) You would just have to splice into the door wires or something that recognizes when the door is open.

Not under the car but in the bottom of the door. Yeah I just have to tap the 12v wire that goes into the door and then It will hooked up to the switch already. Less work easier to do I'm also going to have led's light up my engine bay. I have a switch for it already and i have small 3mm leds, Its only going to light up when you open the hood. The switch works the same as the door switch I just have to find the best place to put it.
