Okay, I fugured out how to add the light that illuminated the ashtray into the sunglass compartment. I drilled a 1/4" hole through the rear center of the compartment. I then removed the LED and associated wiring from the old ashtray, and did some minor rewiring to eliminate the cigarette lighter wires. I then epoxyed the LED to the back underside of the compartment with the LED centered in the hole. Let the epoxy dry, then reassemble the whole thing. Not too bad. Now there is a nice orange glow into the compartment.
