    Wow when they say base they mean base, I have one interior light in the entire cabin. I was going to put a small strip light in the compartment under the knobs for climate control. Not trying to get fancy but it seems there could be a creative solution to light the cabin. It would be cool to see what other folks with base models did.

    You don't have map lights and dome light? Just one dome?

    Just one dim incandescent dome, powered by whale oil or something. Maybe I should just run a wire in parallel under the head liner to about the rear view mirror. Oh Im open to ideas!!~

    There are bulbs and LED's you can just drop in, but if you want light, above is an option

    Thats cool same shape as light. I'm going to add a 10 led bulb I think to the dome. I also ordered a couple of 4 led rectangular lights from Aliexpress. I can't figure how I am going to mount them to the headliner, nothing to screw into.
