Has anyone attempted to put the 7 shift lights that come on the Shift-I into the actual instrument cowling?

Basically, remove the Shift-I components from the plastic housing, cut some holes into the cowling (for the LEDs) and wire everything up.

From what I can see on the back of the cowling is that I'll have to do some machining of the mid-beam plastic spine to allow me to put an LED directly in the middle of the cowling.

Oh well, I'll post some pics when I get it all together but I just didn't know if someone else had done this and if there were any pics out there.
