Lightbulb Red map lights mod version 3

So I really liked Omicron's DIY about adding red map lights to the overhead console. I just wanted it to "blend in" a little better. I decided to do it using flank 194s adding them to the existing map lights. I also decided to rewire the existing map light buttons to turn the red lights on and off.

I got a pair of 194 sockets at a local auto parts store, shaved them down so they would fit in the console and wired them in according to Omicron's DIY, except that I used the negative wire coming off the switch. I also had to cut the corner out of the reflecting lens to insert the leds. You should be able to see this in the pictures.

These are the original sources of the idea, giving credit where credit is due.
