Now trying to see if I can remove the LED bulb from the old ashtray to use it to light the cup.


Just to follow up on this old post, I did repurpose the ashtray light to provide a little ambient lighting for my non-smokers cubby. I simply drilled a small hole in the rear of the cubby - just large enough that the bulb fits snugly, with maybe 1/8 " protruding. It cast a bit too much light upwards for my liking, so I simply put a dab of dark paint on top. And it doesn't generate enough heat to melt the cup housing. Works like a charm.
