I think there is no such kit available, it's DIY project. Here is what you need and how you connect it to car electrics:WiFi controller: http://goo.gl/rDnePQBlack RGB LED strip: http://goo.gl/x94zo64000K white LED strip: http://goo.gl/yj1fO3All is powered from one of the interior lights. You will need all 3 wires:GroundACC +12V power Interior lights supply +12V (active when door is open only)ACC +12V power is used for powering WiFi controller and RGB LED strip for ambient light, which you can mix with your iPhone. Independently, white LED strip is powered with +12V interior lights supply. i»?If you need more information don't hesitate to ask . I can make some photos of installed lights for you.duncho2014-09-18 09:06:59

Thanks Duncho,I was thinking to wire the new strip to the glovebox light, so it will light up only when head lights are on. Regarding the Amber led strip, do you think 10 cm will be too bright? maybe better to use only 5cm?

I would use 10cm long strip so that light is nice evenly spreaded on the floor. Try to connect 2 LED strips in series so that each is powered with 6V only. It should not be bright and will last longer as it won't heat up. Powering it from glovebox lamp is a good idea.
