I guess this falls into Visual Electronics.
Been working on this for a little while and the reason I was aking how to remove the cupholders. I'm sure some of you will think it's rice, but I don't care. Took my time, did everything they way I wanted it with solder, shrink tube and insulated easy disconnects in case I need to take the center console off again in the future. Put them on a switch also so they can be turned on and off as I please. I used two red LEDs and sanded them down so they are flat on top and then wetsanded them on top with 1000 grit to shine them back up. I did this so that when I insert them in the bottom of the cupholders in the two holes I drilled, they sit flush with the bottom and fill the holes completely, making them nearly vanish when they are off. The cupholders still open and close into the console just like they always did. The two LEDs are wired in series with one 560 ohm resistor.
Here they are off, you can barely tell they are even there.
Here they are lit up with the rest of the lights on. Pretty bright, which is why I put them on their own switch so that I don't always have to have them on.
I don't drink and drive, but this was the only clear bottle I had available in the garage refrigerator at the moment. Pretty cool effect I think.
