I installed the LED strips in my rod lockers and battery compartment, and the screw on LEDs in all of the other compartments. I tapped power from my 12 volt accessory in the dash, which is always hot, and installed an on/off switch just under the dash for all of them. I did not bother with the compartment lid switches. It was a job that I had not expected to do, as I found out after delivery of my boat that the AE package in 2015 no longer included interior lights as it had on my previous AE.
