Okay, this information is free just for my Baja buddies!
Steelware has already stolen my idea, glad you asked first!!!!!!
While at the Miami Boat show I noticed many high end boats with a lot of LED mood lighting. The wife loved it.
Then while at the Go2Marine.com booth we found these reall cool round LED lights in different colors. I think they are around $9 each, don't remember exactly. We bought one for every cup holder. You know how the aluminum cup holders have the hold in the bottom of them. These lights are almost the same size as the hole, but just a little smaller in diameter. So I went to Lowe's Hardward and much to my surprise they have a rubber grommet that fits the light perfectly and also fits the hole in the cup holder perfectly. Mount the lights, run the wires and presto, everyone at the docks will be looking at your boat!
They are really cool and use very little voltage to operate. I wired mine directly to the battery and have a seperate switch under the back seat for them Steelware wired his to a switch on the dash.

I hope to finish mine up tonight. I bought 12 lights, I'm hoping that will be enough. I guess we will see tonight.
I will give it too you Dock it was a good idea. I'm glad you went to the Miami boat show and saw it.
I still think you need the crystal ball.

I shouldn't have gone to that web site now I want to trick the whole boat out with different lights.
I am even thinking about getting a piece of heavy plexyglass and making a clear instrument panel with accent lights behind it.
