Oh yeah I was thinking about pillar pod gauges. For the ac vent you could use the ash tray light or the illumination wire on the radio.

I forget what wire (i can check if you want) i tapped but i made it so i can adjust all of my gauge lights with the dial thing and they turn on with the headlights.
so basically they act like the stock gauge lighting.
