Console Icons show up fine

The switch icons show up fine through the center console piece as evidenced by turning the lights on. I mounted 2 4" blue LED strips under the console braces to light up the lower portion of the console with a slight blue glow so I can find stuff down there. The photo shows the blue a lot brighter than it actually is. It is a very subtle blue glow at night and turns on any time the car is running. I got the strips at Pep Boy for about $7 I wired them into a center console wire that is only hot when the key is turned to accessory on or the car is running.

LOL! :hysterical: Super EASY to do! Seven bucks for the two 4" strips of LED's at Pep Boys! Pull the kick plate on the driver side of the console (use some panel pulling tools for leverage and towels underneath them so you don't scratch anything. The rubberized plastic panel pulling tools are cheap at your automotive store. From there just find a wire that is hot when the car is on and wire positive to positive and negative to negative. Easy as that! :)
