Has anybody tried to add ambient lighting to the CX-5? Coming from a Volkswagen with two ambient lights in the overhead console, it drives me absolutely nuts not being able to see in my car at night.
i've been contemplating it for awhile because i put some HP festoon leds in the overhead lights. they are crazy bright so somewhat impractical for just finding something quick while driving.
was thinking of putting some wide angle leds inside the map lights pointing down so that they aren't readily visible
but i haven't gotten around to pulling the overhead console down to see how the spacing is and where on it could mount switches for each of the lights (one on each side)
Let us know how that goes if you get around to it, I also have the insanely bright LEDs everywhere (love the light unless I just want to check on something like the dogs in the back on a trip or find something in the center console) and have been contemplating cold cathode or LED lighting in various places around the car.
I have found them to be easier to mount and wire in areas like footwells for a more subtle look. LEDs always come across too focused or harsh (or maybe I am doing something wrong).
