No good. No light came through-I guess I couldnt get the light tube close enough to the controls. Next idea-either mount the light above the switches and make a plastic cover to aim the light down, or find one or two lights to mount above the window controls that will illuminate them (perhaps license plate lights for a motorcycle). There is no rush, so I will just keep my eyes open when I shop.

I love easy mods! 
Now my interior shines blue. 
Next up might be replacing the incandescent bulbs in the gauge clusted with blue LEDs.

Just pull the factory LED out of the socket, trim the new LEDs leads to match the length of the factory LED, and plug your new LED in the socket. It takes about two minutes. I love easy mods!
