Default Solution for "Non-lighted" cup holders

"Supposedly" the only way to do this
(according to my parts department guy)
is to buy the whole frickin console for $242.00..

So I went to Pep Boys and got these 15" long LED lights for less than $30.00 and put them in..

Lights up perfect now, especially when there are things in the cupholders..
(A little bright when they are empty, but the front one holds the ash tray all the time..)

Once I figured out how to get the top part of the console 'up' a little
to fish the wire through, it was easy..
(you just pry up the "top" section, duh..)
and ran the wires along the console towards the front,
where I already had the lights wired for my underdash lights..
I had to drill one little hole in the side of the cupholder to put the wire through..

they come on a sticky strip, so after I cleaned it with alcohol, I stuck the strip up
against the side of the cupholder..(I should have put them down a little lower..)
