OK - I'm a duf... if hard wiring... the LED, power inverter and plug are required? Anyone got links to the parts they are using? I'm very interested.
Edit: If hardwiring, I presume I don't need a plug. Will this inverter work?

Here's a site that sells hardwire inverter: it's my understanding that as long as the elwire has the EZ Plug any inverter will work with any elwire.

good idea on the groove, did you just use a dremel? i actually used tape as well but only on the outside edge so that once the cowl was put back on you cant see any. if i have any issues i may do the groove/glue combo

My only suggestion when doing the carving is keep to the inner lip of that edge. I went with the outer edge that had the right angle and while it's very secure, it left the elwire about 2mm short of being flush. It's not noticeable at night, but as you can see in the daytime pics there's that little ledge still there.....I didn't measure it correctly prior to carving and I made the call for the outer edge because the chome trim wasn't perfectly matched to the cup holder and it turns out the offset is smaller than the ledge, doh
