Default new interior mod!

i was inspired by the small led that's in my parents lexus gx470 that shines down on the center console. i just bought one led that's mounted in the headliner in between the mirror and the sunglasses holder. i've always thought the intereior of the z looked dull at night and this spices things up a little bit.

let me know what you think. oh and it looks brighter in the pics due to the long shutter speed (30 seconds). it's a lot dimmer in person

very nice. I'd go with an orange led to match everything. What did you tap to power the led?

Looks sweet.... reminds me of my '91 Trans Am. Except they didn't use LEDs back then, instead it was a tiny light embedded under the rearview mirror that illuminated the shifter.

Do a write up because we would all love to get some DIY instructioins.

Reminds me of my mom's MDX, they have a nice blue "mood light"

+1 on how you did it/where to get parts
