Coffee cup light

I use my cup holder all the time. Now I need to drink more. At night I have a hard time finding the cup holder. I need a light to find my coffee holder. Is there a low watt light I can use to help find the place to put it coffee cup in the holder? On the way to Va. on weekends I have to stop in Wilmington ,Dover and Pokomoke. It's not a big thing just one that gets me all pissed off when I spill coffee on my carpet. Now I keep a mat in the front.

Check with Brian. He can tell you how to install a LED light right where you need it.

Dash lights aren't enough? Mine seem to be

LEDs are a piece of cake, you can buy them pretty cheap on Ebay just make sure you get it with the resisters already on them. Then there just a simple red for hot and black for ground. They make little holders for them you can get so you can just drill a hole and snap them in were you want them.

Thanks Brian I will stop at Radio Shack Saturday. The led light sounds just right and easy to install. I looked where to drill a hole tonight.It sounds little but what a pain. This will take care of that.

There are some other options for you.
Like this type of light.... you can adjust the light level and move the light where ever you need it. 50 bucks on galls.com

Or a less expensive type 30 bucks.
