I think it would be very tasteful provided it is done with some LED's that don't make your floor look like a nightclub, i.e., not too bright.

All you would need to do is borrow a 12V supply from just about anywhere and then attach the negative to the door trigger. The door trigger wire is red with a black stripe.

I think it would be even better if you tied the circuit into a 3 way switch just like the dome light so you could change them between on/off/door. Or just tie them into the dome light switch. I would think that having some lights as ambient lighting which were wired to turn on anytime the key is in the ignition would be a great compliment to something a little bit brighter to help illuminate the cabin when the dome light is switched on.

My RL has them and it allows you to see in the dark without turning on a bright dome or map light.
