Since I did my glovebox light mod the other month, I've been thinking of doing my cubby box.
My PS2 ports are installed in it though, so taking it all out is a pain and I hadn't bothered doing it ..... until today 
BLZ-8027 offered his car as a donor so I took a little trip over to see what could be done.
We started with the standard box
... all nice enough but always dark inside.
Using a strip of LED's from Maplins
(£5) and some basic wire (£2) we stripped the box down. The LEDs could only be cut into pieces of 3, or the circuitry went funny.
After drilling some teeny tiny holes I soldered the wire to the ends of the strips and stuck them in place.
This strip points a beam downwards, another (unseen) on the bottom inside lip points inward/upwards.
The top lid comes apart so I fed the wire through, stuck the LEDs down and tested the connection.
Working so far!
This is the top storage lower part, hole at the bottom middle is where the wire had to feed through to be invisible when in place.
After testing all the wiring
...
... I put it all back together and we installed it back in the car.
Not so hot in the broad daylight but in the dark looks quite impressive.
You can't see where the light is coming from and there's a nice glow all round.I had to leave due to dog-walking duty
and Trevor finished sourcing the power feed for it.Not bad, only cost
£7 and a couple of hours 
There were more pictures taken, but some weren't too good, if I do mine
(in red LEDs obviously) I'll do a more detailed photo session.
