now this mod seems to be difficult...No it's not that bad just a lot of time to make sure everything is done right. When your drilling holes in to those plastic pcs you have to make sure it's done right the first time because there's no room for error

What do I have to do to remove the dome light panel on an 2001 GS430? I was trying last night and no go. Do you have to pop out the whole panel around it with the sunroof and homelink? Any help please

again, careful not to scratch or deform the plastic around, they are very soft

Definitely interested in something like this...but I would like to see how faint the illumination is...and would it be better to use the same color LED as the dash illumination? So it would be Green LEDs?

Illiminate sunroof switches and home link
I am interested in illuminating the Dome light/Sunroof switches/Homelink panel in my 01 GS430 to help me find the right button/control at night. I am wondering if anyone has done this yet? If so, could you post day and nightime pictures?
Going to buy a green 12V Radio Shack LED in the next couple o f and experiment!
Thanks..

Well, after spending quite a bit of time in my friend's Mercedes S500, I've decided that this coming week, I'm gonna do green LED accent lights in the overhead console and behind the interior door handles. The only question is how I'm gonna mount the LEDs in the overhead console in a clean way. I've looked at how it is done in the Acura TL with the "slots"...so I'm gonna try to figure out how to make my own slots...
