    oh for anyone installing it, there are 3 wires that run up the passenger side pillar windshield pillar. on my 01 they were black, red/silver and red/green, red/silver was constant power, black was ground. i assume that red/green is switched power for when a door is open, so you can use either for the dome lights, just make sure if you dont have an 01 to check and see where the wires go. i removed the grab handle and the visor on the passenger side to get easier access to see where the wires went. two went straight across the front of the windshield, the other went towards the dome light, was pretty easy to figure out what was what

    it just clips in place on the headliner, no screws necessary, on the drivers side there are two plastic tabs, then on the passenger side theres a metal spring clip, i think i may take it back out and wrap metal spacers around the headliner to make it even a more snug fit, but for now it looks very good and factory

    Couple of years ago my company hada whole fleet of hyundai accent,i did just purchase the horse & once i jump into the accent assigned to me & saw that overhead console i knew one have to be on my VX.
