Tried to take pic showing the ambient light working at night but I couldn't turn off my flash on my phone. I'll try it with my camera. but here are the pics of my install and where I ran the wire. It was pretty simple to run it down the A pillar to the headlight switch area. Again, I just taped into the hot wire of the bulb that illuminates the panel pictured.

What can I replace the check panel with?

Damn, excellent job!
If you could get a picture of the rear where you tapped in, that would be great, but I understand that being a lot of work!
As for the center dome light, I was contemplating cutting the wire board and then soldering the positive and negative, and negative switched from the rear lights!sigpic

Not sure I understand your question but if you are asking where it tapped in for power, the first picture shows where you turn on your headlights. There is a bulb there that illuminates the panel when your lights are turned on. I tapped the hot line of that bulb so that any time I turn on my headlights, the ambient lights come on also. If I misunderstood your question, sorry! Also, my car is a vert so my dome light was right next to the check panel. I used the wiring for that to connect the spotlights. Have not figured out how to wire the door activated center dome light yet.sigpic

Oh okay no, you cleared it up!
I was just wondering if you could get a picture of where you tapped in, for the ambient light, behind the light panel. Im sure it will be clear enough to see when I open it up.
And yeah i got the side ones going from before, but I was still hung up on the door center light too!
Thanks!sigpic

Hmmm.... Maybe I will reconsider going to my clock and not that light.sigpic
