Ive also been thinking about trying to find lights the same color to faintly illuminate the foot area inside.
RADIO SHACK: Different sizes, mountings and illuminations. Check'em out on the web.
The cigar lighter has key-switched power, so you can tap right into its wiring and the LED will only be on when the engine is running. Just pop out the rubber tray at the front of the console and pry the ashtray/lighter panel out of the dash. The wires are rigt there. You'll need a dropping resistor of about 300 to 500 ohms (depending on the current draw of the LED) in series with the LED.
As for the foot area, you're on your own with regard to a power source (could get it at the ashtray while you're in there).
