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.

So I'm guessing those turn on too when you turn on the map light huh?
