Since I've got a base model Blazer, and have poop for lighting, and it makes it kinda hard for people to see sometimes (usually because they're drunk, lol) so I used some white LED's I had sitting around...

I think I'm going to tinker a bit more and see if I can aim them a little better, more towards the window... But they're plenty bright! lol.

And in the 2nd pic, they shine through the vent shade... Just gotta remember not to look directly at them

Hopefully, it'll help people who have trouble reading the credit card slip, lol.

That, and I have LED's laying around... Gotta do something with them!

On a side note, there's some pretty big taped off pieces of wire loom in the headliner... I should see what's in them

Nice! I used to love coming up with new places to put LED's. Now I'm lazy and you can just buy replacements with resistance already in it.

Got a strip of LEDs running the entire length under dash instead of the 2 little bulbs. They used to be green but I swapped them out for white. I'm also working on putting some under the rear seat pointing in the footwells so you can see the crap in the back floorboard, lol. I'm reall big into the LEDs, so far every bulb in my truck has been retro fitted except the headlights and reverse lights.
