I did encounter a slight problem though.  The plastic in the vent is quite thick, and as i had installed the LED from the bottom of the vent, the LED itself doesn't quite go all the way through.  Now there is nothing wrong with that, the only problem is you dont' get ALL the light from the LED.  Maybe a 1/3 of the bulb is in the vent...so your only getting 1/3 the light.  Tonight i'm going to make the holes a bit bigger, and push the whole bulb into the vent.  Downside to this is, you'll see the LED itself.  However, It'll be a whole lot brighter than what it is now.

yeah it looks nuts now....looks alot better when its together....besides i can always get a new bezel worst case scenerio...

The switches are lit blue led as well...looks pretty cool all lit up too. HOWEVER, one switch is for my Strobes, and one is for my Vent LED's..(above and below cigarette lighter) the rest are there for eventual use.
