Default Overhead Console

I was looking at this on ebay


It matchs my interior and i was thinking of getting it but the thing is, is that how do i wire it so that the map lights work like normal? Do i just ground it to somewhere on the roof or something?

There should be some place on the roof paned to ground the lights and switches...if not you could always run wires down the a-pillars. You might even get lucky and find out that the harness for the console/light assembly is already there.

If not run it above the headliner and down the a-pillar, its not as hard as it sounds. I wired up 3 switches in my overhead console and it took under 15 minutes to finish.
