Damn Bubba Jason must be a mind reader, I was just reading the same post by
Chris, when I got a copy of Jason's reply. 

Actually, the lights were installed by Mr.Decibel (mrdecibel@domain.elided) he's
a wiz at this kinda stuff.
He also installed and built my custom sub-woofer enclosure (2 JL Audio
10W6s) that actually fits in the trunk with my wonderful Active Autowerke
rear shock tower brace. Not to mention that he installed my stealth mounted
Valentine V1, all my amps, MB Quart speakers, interfaced all this with the
stock radio (line output, not speaker level) and will soon install an
Eclipse head unit and CD changer. If you're in the Chicago area, drop him a
line, you won't be sorry.
Anyway, the lights work very well. They're brighter than the older style
and allow the passenger to control their own reading light. Cost is about
$22.00 each from your local dealer, wholesale is around $11.00

As for the rear headrests, the main reason I bought them was (like you) for
safety of the rear passenger. 
It's really stupid, in my opinion, to have someone riding in the rear
without them (unless they're under 4' feet tall). You can get them from
Bekker Imports for around $300.00, if you need the complete procedure,
either search the archives for my original post, or drop me a line (after
you've actually ordered them). The short version is, you WILL have to
remove the rear parcel shelf, the holes are marked, you'll need a hole saw,
and that's about it.

Hope this helps,
