Sure thing! Let's check out the map lights of the Odyssey later at the dealership if they are applicable. Looking for one with flip-down compartment for extra storage space.

Yes. If you look at our headliner, there is an outline where the map reading lights are suppose to be located/mounted.

Checked the map reading lights on the Civic, Accord and Odyssey this fternoon at Vancouver Honda. I like the one on the Odyssey best.

Did you guys figure out how much it costs?

I've been wanting to do this for months but I'm scared of cutting the headliner and messing up thus leaving me with a messed up interior. If you guys are serious about meeting up and doing it together then I am in for sure. The one thing I miss from my civic is having no lights in my car at night.

Sorry.

When we are done with our AGM next week, I will pursue it further.

Why are you not installing Fit map lights? I found these here -Honda Automotive Parts

I am wondering how difficult it is to do?

If you guys are still doing the maplight/homelink install. I think there are some post floating around where the guy used the Honda Odyssey and Acura TSX ones. They have the flip down sunglasses compartment.
