the overhead light i got from a local electronics store.. most of them will have an LED thats connects right in.. in was a little loose though so i just tightened it with a pair of pliers..
and the license plate like i got from ebay.. i forget what kind of light it is off the top of my head but its in the manual.. they were pretty cheap.. the light wouldnt fit in the little housing that the light goes in so i had to grind it a little bit with a dremel but it fit just fine and hooked in right.

Looks nice! The interior on the JKs is too dark to see at night

Looks great. You hit all the "high" (or "dark") spots. I've seen a couple others in write-ups or electronics, but usually only for one of the spots. Details on each all in one spot would be great. I just have to get over my irrational fear of cutting wires...
