    Like I said I like the idea alot. Why couldnt you just put velcro on the back of the light and do away with the cd? The cd makes it look more out of place than the light already would make it by itself.

    i tride the velcro on the head liner and it did'nt stick good enough to hold it dring driving. hit a bump and it popped off.. plus the heat made the velcro come off and i did'nt like the idea of velcroing it to the liner of the trim piece.

    oh it works great with the those old king of pop cds.......lol

    Ding Done

    I read this thread and thought it was a great idea, but really had no plans to make the addition.

    Well, I was at Lowes (LOVE THE LOWES!) and saw the "Sylvania Dimmable White DOT-it Self-Adhesive Bright White LED Light" for $6.95, so I decided to give it a whirl.

    The light came with double sided stick tape and a velcro circle. I decided to do some "belt and suspenders" action and use the CD and the velcro. I double side stuck the light to the cd, then I put the velcro (the hook side) on the back of the cd. I then proceeded to stick the CD into that back plastic piece as instructed. I find that the velcro keeps it from sliding and the cd keeps it from falling.

    Teamwork I tell ya! Thanks for the idea, the light is a very welcome addition

    So Dub, how bout a bit more info on this light. Is it battery op or hard wired? Is it just mounted with double side tape?
    Looks good and fits well!
    I am thinking 2...one on each side mounted lengthways!
