Yep, the light ring was part of the kit. 4 bulbs total came with the kit, as well as 3 pieces of red film for the clock. 1 bulb for down in the ashtray, 1 for the lighter ring, and 2 for the HVAC controls. Getting to the lighter ring bulb meant removing the whole center console assembly, but the link I provided to JTC's how-to explains all of that. When removing the arm-rest section, just be sure not to lose the 2 white clips joining it onto the shifter section. Those clips are definitely required for a sound re-install of the interior pieces. As well, some DIY's say to use 2 pieces of film for the clock, but there was still a hint of orange, so I put in the 3rd. I guess there was a reason for Lightrikz including the 3rd piece afterall 
Definitely get in touch with where you got the kit about that bulb for the lighter ring, or pick one up... because it's even more pimp looking in person

The light kit is the "Basic" kit from http://www.lightrikz.com/. The prices are on the site... I believe in CDN funds it came out to like $25 or so. The install procedure can be seen in the link I posted in my install post for the kit. It's definitely a nice addition and I suggest it to anyone in order to get the HVAC controls and clock to match the guages.

Just a small update... Yesterday, it was nice enough to get the car out to a mechanic shop in order to get the Progress rear sway bar installed. I didn't get any pictures of the install itself since I had to drop the car off for a while to get it done, but I did manage to snap one off on my phone of the car outside. I'll get better ones when the summer is truely here, but for now the car is returned to storage for another week or two until all the snow and salt is truely washed away.

Haha, weird... in that last pic I posted it definitely looks like the wing is hanging half-way off the trunk. It's not however.. but I definitely see what you're talkin about. As for the tint, it's 35% all around. I think I'll be getting something a little darker eventually.
