Just wanted to post up a reminder to anyone that may be doing this DIY: make sure you secure and tuck away the wiring that is around the cupholder.
I had McDonald's overfill my drink last week and had some spillage that went down underneath the cupholder and got on my connecting wire. It shorted out the next day, frying both the EL wire and the inverter. When the inverter blew, the AC started pouring electrical smoke into the cabin of the car and really freaked me out.
