Time for a little progress update
Whilst moaning about the rather poor interior lighting whilst driving at night, I fitted as many bright LEDs as I could in all the right places but to no avail, the center ventilation console was woefully inadequate in terms of light output, so I decided to improve it.
Take one center panel, remove the flat copper loom thing and lamps.
Then get some of that flat LED strip that you can cut into 3 LED sections.
Mark out and carefully drill holes for the LEDs to shine through.
Get creative with your soldering iron a bit of wire and the strips, glue it in and see how it goes.
Et voila!!!!!
Very pleased with the end result, just need a new hot glue gun to finish it off properly, but light output is tons better than it was originally!
