'10 Civic Si Accessory Light

hey everybody, so i just got my new '10 civic si, and of course, i love the beast, but i was very slightly bummed when i saw that honda took out the accessory light that's in the middle of the panel where the map lights are. the hole once had a small amber-colored ambient light that gave a little bit of interior lighting. my friend has an 07 SI, and there's one in his. but i think that since fogs came stock on the 09 - 10 civic si, they took out this light. the hole where the light used to be is now covered with plastic.

i know there's one thread that shows somebody putting a light into this hole, but it has a toggle switch, and i'm not too much a fan of that.

does anybody know how to put a light into that hole and work the light so that it turns on with the low beam driving lights? (just like it would with the 2006-2008 si)

thanks for the help!

do you know how to wire the led so as to have it turn on with the low beam driving lights?
