Good advice
Nothing much to report, just been running the car as usual. But today I decided to install some ambient footwell lights that are on when the lights come on.

Made a loom (testing it with a battery)
Then wired the positive into a 12v feed that the parking lights work from, and grounded the negative.
Done!
Footwells when you open the door (like before):
And now when you're driving at night:
Sorry about the quality, didn't have a tripod for the DSLR.
Very happy
