My first EV and Model Y should be arriving this year and I am already excited about making the switch. One thing I noticed during a test drive was how dark the interior can be at night. Coming from a vehicle with lights everywhere, it was a little jarring. So I begin to look at aftermarket options that work OEM-like. Unfortunately, nothing is out there (that I know of) that will work like installed from the factory, except for an aftermarket floor light kit that adds rear floor lighting. What makes this unique is that it will come on automatically, dim and turn off automatically, and controlled by the screen. So I began to think about adhering one of the rear floor light behind the main screen. The LED would wash the dash with light, the center console (or both) - depending on the location and angle of the installation. Of course, I can't test this yet because I do not have the vehicle (or the parts), but in my head it sounds like it could work. Technically, you could dial back the brightness by adding a litttle black electrical tape to the LED itself.
So I wonder, for those who have these kits, how large are these rear light kits? would you see this sticking out behind the screen? Is there a clean path behind the screen where wires wouldn't be seen or noticed?
Food for thought on a Monday morning.
