Dude absolutely awesome. Thanks for doing the write up. I will be ordering this right now and installing as soon as it comes in. I also got my aqua 3mm LEDS in today to swap out my interior switches. I'll be doing a video write up on that and posting it once i get it all finished. Thanks again, looks great.

That center console looks GREAT! I have been annoyed that the plastic scratches so easily! My last car (2001 Taurus SES) had 123,000+ miles on it when I sold it and the center console had no scratches, but the Mustang has several (probably only I would notice) with around 40,000 miles!

Thanks guys.. When I get the time I'll probably re-write the first post as the write up for the LED's. I actually just installed some pinkishpurple ones on my friend's 2010 v6. Same brand; LEDglow. The wire I spliced into on her 2010 was a light purple color.. and it was the wire on the far right, on the top row of the headlight switch.
I did find a great (easy) way to test which wire to tap in to.. First wire the ground (black wire from the LED receiver), then turn on the parking lamps. Take your red wire from the LED receiver and insert it into each hole where the factory wires are going into the headlight switch (hard to explain without a picture lol). Basically just use the LED power wire instead of a multimeter and see which wire/port turns on the LED's. Once you found which wire/hole turns your LED's on, turn your parking lamps on and off and the LED's should go on and off as well. That's when you know you have the right wire to splice into.
BAM. 2010 V6. Female style. Installed in a busy parking garage at school.
