I always felt like we got cheated with no ignition key light. Had looked at the one for the Ist in Japan but who wants to pay $100 for a simple light.

So I did some investigating and found a cheap solution.. . .
1. Go here and buy this
http://www.oznium.com/prewired-leds and this
http://www.oznium.com/led-holder I used the 3mm size, 5mm might fit but will be close.
2. Remove the small door at left of steering column:
3. Use T-taps on blue and pink wires (blue = positive / pink = negative) (I always disconnect negative battery terminal before any mods like this) :
4. Remove bottom section of plastic steering colum by undoing 3 screws. Drill 1/4" hole for the 3mm led holder and snap into place:
5. Run about a foot of positive/negative wire between T-taps and your led and connect with either solder or quick connects.
6. Enjoy being able to see the ignition in the dark! (day pic):
btw: this works same as dome light, so the led comes on when you open the door and dims / turns off at the same time.
Total cost for this mod: about $3 and 15 minutes of your time, depending on skill level.
