    So I bought some of the superflux lights from oznium.com and drilled the holds in my cupholders to mount them in. Well I took them out because they were too distracting for me at night and now I'm left with the holes in the plastic. A new console from the dealership costs $160 :mad: and that's by far too much. I couldn't find anybody selling any so I'm looking for a way to fill them in and paint over it. Any suggestions?

    Why not leave the lights in the holes and add a switch so you can turn them on and off as you need it. They can be off most of the time since they are distracting, but if you do need a little light at night then you have them available. Just thinking that since you have made the investment in the lights you might just as well have a use for them, even if it is only sporadic, or just to show off to your friends:D.

    ^^^Exactly :) You already invested time in buying the lights and installing them, why not just get a little switch?
