my solution for the dashboard light

[lunap]

Found this for $20 at Brookstone. Now I can see the interior dash at night.

Let's see, now. You plug it into the cig lighter. Is it switched?

 

[lunap]

Yep, has an on and off switch, plus low wattage led light.

If'n you wanna hide it you can but a secondary lighter plug and wire it in behind your dash so you just have a small section of the flexy part sticing out. Just a thought.

I mounted a small licence plate light underneath the dash pad over the switches, this is hard wired to the light circut. Looks as though it is supossed to be there. Just another way of doing it

Woody,

Are you sure this doesn't belong over in the hard core section?

Kind of the same idea, I replaced my OEM dash lights with orange LEDS from Radio Shack. I think they run $2.01 for 2 of them and they work well. Also available in blue, yellow, white, and red. The orange was just a little brighter than the red and did not glare.

I like this because I dont have to do any real modification on my stock vehicle. havent gotten around to replacing dash bulbs with something brighter.

I like the flex light very cool idea

BTW- If you have not done the dash light mod, and replaced with super white bulbs, you do not know what you are missing. Truly blinding

Went to Brookstone yesterday. Thanks for the tip.

Tornadoalleycruiser came up with another good idea. Find a rearview mirror with the built-in map lights. Replace the stock one, wire it up, and you are good to go. I found mine in a Buick Century.
