Opinions!!!
Well i've searched alot and i have come to the conclusion that i may very well be the first one to do this, let me get your opinions on my overhead maplights with integrated homelink garage door opener!

(BTW that is my JUST finished headliner, i did that myself too, feel free to comment on that as well!)

I like it cuz it's black and matches the dome light, gives me the functionality of map lights AND a garage door opener, both i use alot!.

That doesn't look too bad. It's a nice clean installation but I don't know if it really looks like it belongs there.

Re: Opinions!!!
well the flash from my cam makes it look a bit funny i agree, but when your sitting in the car in normal day light it looks great, im going to be looking for something to update the dome light a bit with too. It will look much better once i get a set of visors in too

Re: Opinions!!!
I like it. Nice to see people getting creative with their ideas. Does it interfere with the view from the rear view mirror though?

Re: Opinions!!!
Looks great! I'd love to do something like that, the little opener I use has poor range and refuses to open the door half the time.

Re: Opinions!!!
powered by the car, no need for batteries, evar! range is decent on them. i toyed with the homelink mirror idea too, but for me it's too new, that setup is actually from an 80's car, i love old tech you see, as for the mirror im using a monochromatic compass mirror from a 95 deville, a little newer, but still old tech, and looks old by the way its built too.
