Interior Lighting switched by Headlights

[northants]

Pretty much as the title says..

Putting some LED's into my cabin to jazz things up a little bit, They are going in footwells and behind speaker guards, and i want them all to be turned on when i switch the head lights on. Whats the easiest way to do this?

I have my headunit wired to the headlights, so when they are turned on the lights on my headunit dim down, would i find something around this to make it work?

Thanks

Take the torx screws out holding centre console in.

As said easiest way is to splice into the interior lights that light up the centre console. When you do this i seriously recommend also putting a switch into the circuit. It will be really easy and they only cost a couple quid. That way the leds are for show-use only. And you won't get pulled driving down the motorway looking like you have a christmas tree on your lap ;)

plus could be dam distracting all them leds around your car whilst night driving.
as quoted put on a switch or link them to your doors so when you open doors they come on and go off when closed
