Sorry I'm not a good night photographer. No picture.
I just mounted som electroluminescent wire behind the midconsole bezel, around the radio and a/c controls.
Easily done and WOW what a nice effect! It looks Like a real expensive airplane pen 15pit.
I was unhappy about not finding my buttons at night, thought about Leds but I'd need a bunch of them.
Then I remembered the PC case mod stuff I'd seen. You can see their stuff at

Best buy is the PC mod kit, just cut off the PC connector and stick the light pipe wire on behind the bezel.
I used double sided tape. Space the bezel out an 1/8 inch to give the best lighting.
I used the ultra marine color but I think that the lime green would match better with the rest of the dash lights.

Aha! if only I'd learned puppiesanese, the little  with a moon and stars means night pictures!!

There are only two tools you will ever need:
1) WD40
2) Duct Tape
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

I had a little extra material from the decals I had done, so I decided to fill in the centers of the TBirds..

I think it counts as a small thing! I also had the dash and radio bezel in the SHO painted the same color as the car.

This aint exactly cosmetic or cool lookin but it sure the hell is functional. I had a tail light lens separate from the rest of the assembly on the freeway for the second time. Happened on a TC I owned a while back too. Well, it's gettin harder to come by these lights. This one took a month to find. So I decided that this was never going to happen again. I drilled 3 small holes and used some extra interior sheet metal screws I had and secured the 2 pieces together. I'll never lose another lens!!!

Did it just plug into the little ball joint, or did you have to replace the whole mount?  AKA were you able to keep the autodimmer/auto headlight sensor?
