Unfortunately I do not have a home link mirror. I think someone modified them into the bottom of one of the mirrors which also is a good idea if you have one.
Audi / VW has the LED's mounted in there overhead console as well as on some models in the mirror :



The above is how I want it to visually look somewheres in our overhead console.

I think in the TSX it shined right where the ash tray was, the RSX also had a similar feature to shine on the cup holders/tray area.

I am looking to make it shine in in the same spot as the TSX / ( my old VW ) shined. Right over the center stack where it starts to turn towards the shifter.

I was also debating adding a small LED to possibly the cup holder region as well. Where you slide the door open. I would mount it towards the rear so it was not visible but had a very low light glow when opened.

We shall see just an idea! The overhead console I am going to move fwd with.

Yes its a W8 and where I got the idea originally from. I know alot of cars offer this now, But I first saw it on a VW and did the W8 console swap to my last car.
MKIV Jetta VR6 GLX

Ill keep you guys posted still trying to hunt down a spare overhead console to modify.
