I see at least one screw (the second one must be on the other side) in the photo that will obstruct the slot cutting bit. Make sure you remove it before making the t-molding slot, or you may seriously injure yourself. Flying shurikens are best kept in ninja movies. ;D This means you will have to make the t-molding slot before painting the cab.

Decided to go for a warm white led strip and 5 ft molex entension cable, hopefully that will do a decent job at least for now and save the wiring. LEDs seem to go forever so regular bulb changing will not be required.

I've had mine in my cab for 4 years now and haven't had any issues with the cold cathode tubes in it (but have had issues with other ones before), but the white LED strip and molex cable is probably a better choice and will do what you want, so good for you. :cheers:

If you all knew how I'm planning to hack together a working control panel, you'd ban me from posting and I wouldn't blame you...
