Default Installed overhead console

I installed an overhead console this weekend. My truck did not come with one. I decided to just go with the plain one that doesn't have the readout. I didn't know how to wire all that extra stuff up since mine didn't have any wiring in the roof for it. So, with this one, I just had to wire up the lights. It was a breeze, and I think it looks good and gives me another cubby hole.

They were on the console unit. I bought it on eBay.

There was nothing there before. Just headliner. But the mounting holes for overhead consoles are under the headliner, whether you have one or not. I had to cut a hole in the headliner, run my wire (because there was none of that there either), and mount the console.
