Most know I have a slight obsession with lights, always have even since i was a little kid. Which comes to the conclusion that I'm still a little kid who plays with trucks.

Anyway show off your oem or custom , led or non led lighting upgrades/mods for your interior so we can spread some knowledge and ideas

Let me start with one. For some reason none of the tahoes came with center console lights, even the fully loaded one...which i have, so I added one. I did check the esky and denali center console to see of I can just swap out the liner but that was a no go. Either way I had fun doing this mod.
I put the light housing on the drivers side so it shines somewhat twords the passenger side with no distraction to the driver . Used a pressure switch from a nbs glove box for on/off wired directly to the battery.
I went to the salvage yard and picked out a interior light housing that fit my needs. I wanted something low maintenence and the bulb (194) can be replaced instead of with a strip if one light goes out the whole thing is toast or just looks ugly.
If I remember this particular housing came out of a mid 2000 vw.
Used a empty led 194 base as a lead from the pressure switch

I like that idea of the light in the center console, if my old 98 Sieria SLE truck's center console still had the latch to keep it closed I'd like to do this to it, to lazy right now to go look for a better one now, so I'll admire yours for now.

I'm lost what does that mod do?
So your rear dome light have 3 bulbs right.
The middle one only comes on with the doors open.
The outside two are separate on off map/reading lights for passenger that can only be turned on with a physical button pushed.
This mod allows all 3 to light up with doors open. But still have the convienence of being able to turn one light on with the button if a passenger needs it.
