Great job! Looks like a nice mod. Similiar to puddle lights almost.

I really like the idea of the interior lights and going on when the ebrake is up. This is probably the most common issue I have with passengers at night and it sucks when its girls with rings that scratch up the interior panel.

neat idea, may consider doing this at some point

just a suggestion, but I think it may have been easier to do if instead of messing with the weatherstripping, you just removed (don't know exact name) the plastic moldings and A-pillars.

I just hardwired my radar detector and that's what I did. remove the sun visors and the 2 bolts like you did in the light housing. Then, all the plastic pieces just pop right off with no problem and you got plenty of room to run wires.

and no trimming/cutting of the weatherstripping.
