    thanks man, its a cool lil touch, alot of people get in and are like "ooh whats that" so i flick it on...then have to explain
    but at night, i keep it turnt on, gives a nice lil blue glow to the cabin...
    
    not really too sure if it will come in handy for people that donthave an install or many mods that require battery power...but still, look smart imo.
    just hard to find a nice mounting place.
