ambient lighting

I got a loaner TSX about a week ago, and i really like the ambient lighting it has.

Has anyone put ambient lighting in the 2nd Gen TL? Whats a good way to put it in? What do i need for it?

I did it. I think I'm the only TLer who did it. I installed two really expensive LEDs next to the HomeLink button. The best way to put it in is to unscrew the light console that holds the sunglasses and HomeLink. Then you can just detatch the wires as well (clip off) and drill a hole and tap in to the power for the light switches. Except on my car, I have the ambient lights on 24/7 whether or not I'm in the car because the LEDs drain close to nothing. It also is cool at night.
