Glare Shield edge guard/panel illumination

[Freemasm]

Can the collective share what they did for glare shield edge guard and panel illumination? Have heard of some who’ve used split Al tubing versus the typical slip-on stuff. Got an idea to try and hide an LED strip under the guard. Anybody try such?

Your thoughts, ideas, shared pic would be appreciated. Thx.

I have a blue LED strip on a dimmer under the glare shield. Works well. Actually a bit too well. I ended up “blacking” out every other led with sharpie because it was too bright.

I wanted an automotive-like interior, so I went with Classic Aero's upholstered and paddled glareshield cover, which is really nice and not all that expensive in aviation terms. It also made it easy to hide an LED light strip behind the "lip".
