This is one of the first things I did. LED strips on each side tucked up out of sight, power from rear 12 volt plug, illuminated switch on center console:

Hey guys! Got fed up with another thing on the Raptor. (Thats how I started Raptor Custom Embroidery... Ugly center console was pissing me off) You can't see in your center console!! So I am working on a solution and will offer it to you guys very soon! Colors will be green, red, white, and blue!

All connections will be soldered and heat shrunk and LEDs will be secured with clear silicone and you won't see it at all.

Post below if you are interested in me incorporating Vision-x LEDs into your console lid! These are some cheap 4 led pods from auto zone I wanted to use to test this little idea I had. I will offer these to people that do and don't want my embroidered custom leather on their console also. Here is a sample of what it would look like (except for the angle of the Leds.) I'll aim them straight into the center of the console and include instructions for installation!

It's very bright, 1 10" LED strip on each side (I think there's 5 LEDs per side). I have them on the inside lip facing towards the sides. If I did it again, I would place them on the outside wall, face them towards the center. It's difficult to get a good picture (Good luck Raptor_Al_41), here are some cell pics:

The outlet towards the back is a 2nd USB plug:


Here you can see how the lights shine, if they were on the outer walls shining towards the center, I think you would get more light from them:


The switch I used, is something I had lying around, I think the switch Raptor_Al_41 is planning to use would be a better choice (not many people want to take a power tool to they're $50k truck):
