I have an LED in there. you have to take all kinds of stuff off to get to it, but very doable. Need a resistor too.

hmm... off the top of my head.. unscrew the 6 screws? under the steering wheel.. then that should pop off both top and bottom piece. the keyring light should come out by pulling it to the right. twist and pull the whole ring out because it is connected and it should slide out fairly easily.

real easy, theres a plastic piece around the ignition. look underneath and you can see where it starts, just pop it off with a screw driver, and you have access!
