cigarette lighter light

I'm installing a Dakota Digital guage cluster which has a RPM warning output. I would like to put the light in the cigarette lighter socket or the hole that is left from it. The goal is to have the light flush/near flush and possibly be tinted to hide it even more. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Just pull the panel and get happy with the hole saw. You can silicone it in place from the back in case you need to remove it in the future.

Re: cigarette lighter light

I purchased the LED and it fits really well. I just need to paint the chrome ring to hide it a little better. here's a couple pics
