I changed a few things and put my own spin on it, but I think I did a good job in the end.

Here's a before



Quick tear down



Found center and marked my holes



First hole



Second hole



Testing with the battery



The directions weren't clear, but I did what daytonaviolet did and used the ground for the switch, I also mounted mine at a 15 deg angle as recommended



I wired the 2 positives in parallel so that I could send 1 set of wires down



And here's the final test of the switch and wiring



I used wire taps for the back of the 12v socket so that I didn't have to cut the stock wiring



And here's my finished product. I had some 3m wire holders leftover from my Blackvue dash cam, so I used those to hold the wires. I also ran the wires through a mesh loom



And here it is all reinstalled, this is before the switch triggers



Here's the light triggered with the switch



And the finished product, I'm now able to see and access my console safe at night. Thanks guys for the inspiration and information to get this mod done. I love it! Not bad for 20 bucks!
