I had the same sort of thing on my 13. I think it's basically EL wire. Attached mine to my console shifter light wire and they dimmed with the rest of the lights and only came on when the dash lights come on.
I have my ambient lighting hooked up to my dash lights in my 16 like that so they're not on during daylight, only when the auto on kicks in during darker hours.

I went with the opt7 kit. Works great. They shine white when I open the doors and back to the last color they were left on when I close them. Super easy install as well.

Probably won't do anything else to it audio wise. I would highly recommend the Kicker Hideaway.
Do you have a picture of how much room it takes up under the seat? Do you have the storage compartment under the rear seat

Yes I will get a couple pictures taken and posted tomorrow morning and yes I have the little storage compartment. The sub is totally hidden from view when seat is down though. And easy to unplug and remove if needed.

So the white is when you open the doors and the rest are some of the color options you have. They can be dimmed or brightened as well as all off and even go with the beat of your music.

I ran the stock thru the table saw and used SR screws and glue.
I used 4" screws and let them in from top and bottom.
If you have a spray in bed liner, you'll want to chamfer the edges a bit. I used a belt sander; took 2 secs.
