I don't have a center pod, but one wire down the A pillar to the light switch can get you illumination...or you can tap into the harness for the overhead computer (I added a switch to manually in-dim the computer when I run headlights during the day).

You might get +12from the light switch, or just a few inches down at the fuse block.

I personally added an aux fuse block and relay setup to get more 12v lines...a Blue Sea 8 port aux fuse block and a few relays fit perfectly under the fuse panel cover.

I was hoping being right by the overhead console that pretty much everything I need would be right there. I know there is switched 12v+ and a ground there but a unsure if constant 12v+ and illumination is there.

Actually thinking about it constant 12v+ should be there as well for the map lights.

I'm gonna search for a schematic for the overhead and see what I can find.
