    LOL Yep, lots of neat ideas, it's just a shame they're typically so poorly executed that the vehicle falls apart around you. :homer:

    I agree with him that the ignition is not well illuminated. Luckily he got a few helpful responses...

    The best possible answer was in the first reply. That means free for all, right?

    Jeez, some of you guys are brutal. I like the idea of the ign. switch light ring. A cheap ass Saturn I once owned even had that as a standard item. I might try something simpler like a downward directed light tied into the dome light and mounted behind the rearview mirror. I thought of using a map light in the cig lighter but was informed that outlet is dead until you insert the ign. key.
