you don't need to pull it (the int. lights) down...do a search there are some great instructions as to how to hard wire the V1. I just did the one I got for XMAS, it was easy....good luck

V1 uses 12v. There are 4 places where 12v are found,(that I know about) the cig lighters, front headlights and the battery. I tied into the headlight circuit. Getting into the cigarette lighters is tricky and I haven't found the secret to getting them apart. As far as I know nothing in the dome light assembly has switched 12v, it's all low voltage. Hope this helps.

I got the overhead console down, you remove the small plastic trim piece that goes around the rear view mirror, then there are two buttons up there to release the clips.... it was mess up there, all kinds of ribbon cables and such, so I just ran the wire down the the cigarette lighter, much easier.....
