Default LED footwells on separate dimmer switch?

Hey all you wiring geniuses!

I've searched, and came up with nada.
What I want to do is put in some LED strips (something like this) to light up the footwells, ashtray, and probably behind the seats.

I want to hook them up independent of the stock lighting, but I want a dimmer, so I can have them "subdued", and still be able to crank them up when needed. Is that possible with LED's? How would I do it?


I've never worked with LED's, so any advice / input is welcome.

i purchased the water-proof version of this to use in the bed of mine. They are quite bright.

the same seller has http://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-Light-Di...item25729a9b14

the dimmer you are asking for. Never purchased a dimmer for mine, have it on a switch so i can see when my cover is on the bed, or when its dark out... bright as heck and cheep too so when i bust em i dont care
