With the G3x and optional rotary potentiometers from Stein, I've got the built in capability to control 3 different cabin light circuits.
I debated how and where to install lights and elected to go with a white LED strip for the baggage compartment and both a blue strip and a white strip under the glare shield.
Wont have the glare shield done for some time, but today I finished up the one for the baggage compartment. The light strip is in the seat back cross bar, which is bare aluminum on the inside, so it acts as a reflector.
I'm sure that there are fancier installations out there, but this was super easy to install. Just ran two wires with the wire bundle going to the flaps, and stuck the LED strip up with it's own peel and stick tape (which I don't have much confidence in) followed by a couple of strips of duct tape to keep the ends from peeling up right away, then a few dollops of E6000 to encourage it to stay in place.
I elected not to go with the almost a 14 mod. This is just the factory crossbar.
The white LED is shining on gray primer, which is the reason it has a blue hue to it.
