Used your idea an hour ago in battery form. I used 3M clips to attach the wires to the glass and placed the battery pack behind a head rest. Then reinstalled the sun shade very easy install. Does not look professional and I think if the glass was tinted you would see the wires less in daylight.
Parts: Roof shade (free for Foundation series) x 1, 300LED 100ft fairy light from Amazon x 1.
Some notes: I don't want the light to be very bright so I found a light that can dim to 10%. The wires that normally come with the light is not long enough, still need to purchase longer wires to route through under the carpet.
The difficult part is to make the lights tape to the side of the mesh, since it's cloth it doesn't hold too good, maybe I should just tape them on the roof glass first.
Took me less than an hour to route the light and wires. I think it looks pretty good at day/night, at least my daughter likes it.
The battery pack requires 6 AA batteries which makes it heavy so I think it will need to be wrapped in foam to prevent noise. Not sure if I will keep it until I figure out how to make the wires less noticeable. I have seen window led designs and I’m going to try and find one.
