Interior lighting behind A/C vents?

Has anybody installed any mood lights or neons behind the center A/C vents? I thought this would look cool at night. Also, how about the lighting underneath the A/C unit? I like the stock lighting, but I wish it were brighter! If anybody has any pics, I would definitely like to see them!

WOW! Thanks! His car looks hot! I had the gauge cluster apart today, and I was wondering where I could tap the lights to. The space behind the vents is very limited in running the wire.

A private message to VSMAX would probably help your question get answered quicker.

I agree. This thread seemed to go off topic to what I have originally started.
