Default Headliner lighting

Back when I had my 2006 xB, I had Cathodes in my Oh *** handles but on the 2011 tC I can't figure out how I'd mount them due to the retracting handles. Have any of you thought about how to achieve this?

Not on my scion but on my other car i added 4 individual leds with led holders, up front in the headliner, with a switch and 9 more leds mounted inside the edge of the dome light fixture. Stock dome light is blue led bulb.



I cut off the tips of the leds for a better spread of light and they are nearly flush, very low profile and the ones in the dome are hidden, so default dome light is blue and if i need some light i hit the other switch. I had only a center dome light and the front seats were a little dim. Its way brighter than any stock domes that ive seen. I like things flush or as low profile as possible. Maybe you could use an idea like this?

I also did some for a client, they were pretty fat handles so i took them apart and flush mounted 5 leds in each handle, wired with 30 awg wire, could barely see the wire when you pulled the handle down. Couldnt see the leds unless you really looked at the handle or if they were on.
