Thanks guys. Danish, I hesitated a little bit myself before going this route but now I'm happy I went this route knowing I have another daily car. Several points :
- The leds brought the total consumption down from around 60-70W to about 5W which should also spare my battery
- The torpedo light was on at all time when the car wasn't locked which may have been the cause of my Odyssey battery ending dead several times while the car was at my mechanic (they kept the car unlocked). I noticed that only by seeing the light on after removing the lateral panel in order to install the leds to the passenger's feet
- After 4-5 removals, the very soft screws that came with the Recaro seats were done. I barely succeded in removing some of them for the last time. Thanks to rex's tip, I bought much harder screws from Fabory and with a thicker head. If you can imagine the high quality screws costed me less than 3 Euros but Recaro didn't think they should use such expensive screws on a 700Euro seat (+200-300Euro for the rails)
