The want is real. I always stare at that piece and yell at the heavens while shaking my fist "WHY DON'T YOU GLOW TOO!!! DAMN YOU." But, I will never do it because of other crap to do. I think I have like 3-4 projects sitting in boxes in the garage already. But I digress...

Right! It's so stupid there's no red led above the glove box

A little old but I'll revive it, I got the kit, swapped the stock silver for ambient lighting(hardest part),they slpiced the wiring into the lighting for the cigarette lighter. Mr. Fix says there should be a stand alone BCM plug for cupholders illumination( like on an audi a4) but I was already done and it worked fine

How do you install this? Where does it plug in to?

Ok but not sure how you get from the dash to that plug..
There are gaps between the dash and the structure behind it.. You run the wires behind the dash through the center console down to the cigarette lighter. A wire helps get it behind the dash till the center bezel.

Nice. Does it illuminate up red or just white?

I like it, but not enough for how much they want for a simple light.
The light i received with the kit was just white. It is easily swappable though if i ever feel like it.
