Figured I should start a build thread

And here it is completed. I picked up some blue trim out of the UK, and then converted all the bulbs to LEDs. The interior is BRIGHT now. I wired the main center light to come on when the doors open, and I put an extra switch in to turn that off. The other 4 individual lights are hot all the time, and controlled by the on/off switch that each has wired to it from the factory. I'll get a better daytime pic. Overall, I'm extremely happy w/how this turned out.

Two questions:
1) How did you attach it to the ceiling liner?
2) Do you hit your head on it if the car bumps hard to the side?

I'm 6' and I sometimes hit my head on the door frame when 4X'ing. Not a big deal but I wouldn't want it to happen on both sides of my head.

1) There are 2 screws in the console. For the one in front, I went to Lowes looking for a piece of wood. In their aisle for fasteners and what not, I found a wooden wheel to replace a broken wheel on a child's toy. I picked up some new Elmer's adhesive and glued it under the headliner, straight on the roof. For the rear, I drilled a 1/4" hole in one of the compartments, and using a 1" washer and long screw, I screwed it into the place where the OEM light screws in. The washer is larger than the hole size, so it let's you center the console when attaching it. Here's a pic, I'll grab a better one showing a better perspective @ lunch.




2) I'm 6'3", no issues.
