I had the same issue in my truck. The overhead lights I changed to bright white led's which worked for the most part. But that still did not fill in the foot wells so I added led strips to brighten it up. I was going to do bright white but felt that maybe too bright so I installed blue led's in the foot well.
Some will say these sites are too expensive and you should go to e-bay. But I went that route the first time and after a month or so some led's started to go out. I guess I got what I paid for.
You should see if you can find your service manual for your vehicle. This will show you how things are wired in your vehicle. My truck has all the options already wired from the factory even if I don't have the option. I do not have a hitch on my truck and the wiring is there for hooking up a trailer. So I took the trailer circuit and I've used that for a bunch of extra lighting.
Hope this helps
What kind of vehicle do you own?
You should be able to find a forum for your vehicle that you can join and that group should be able to help you out with your LED project.

Not unless you want to pay dealer prices.
Are you handy? If you do any wiring at home you can proably do it yourself.You can also go to any place that installs car stereos and they should be able to do the work for you.
I listed a link to a Kia forum below. The guys on there should be able to point you in the right direction. If they are like the guy’s here and on my Truck forum you will find a lot of help.
You can change the interior bulbs to leds real easy yourself. Just take out the bulbs and check them for the part number. Then do a google search for a KIA bulb list. You should be able to find one in the forum.
