    Hey TW,

    I have attached a picture of my view inside my truck (notice the teddy bear). You can see my compass is hard to see and that’s only because of my phone flash. Obviously, it’s dark at night. What lighting solution can I use to light up my compass at night. I was thinking a light that will fit right under the handle and it can be wired or battery powered.

    Show me what you can come up with. 22787412-6B3E-42EB-9CAA-4FC356AD904A.jpg

    Why not get a phone dock and use a compass app?

    I think you may find it easier to just buy a lighted compass.

    Yup, a Richie surface mount would work reliably.
