There are no dashboard parts assembly or wiring diagrams from the LCI that I can find. If someone could find one, that would be a good start. You might be able to trace a wire to an easily accessible location. But my guess is you’re going to have to take the dash apart to a certain extent to gain access to the wire.

It should be noted these dashboard are installed as a whole assembly at the factory, and reassembly of individual parts within the dashboard could introduce the possibility for creaks/rattles afterwards. Another idea would be to wrap it, not sure if anyone is selling interior wrap for the LCI yet.

You can probably pull a fuse to disable them but chances are it will also disable other lighting that you may not want disabled. Another thought would be to pull the dash trim piece off, as if you were going to replace it, and in the process you will probably find a connector that you might be able to just disconnect and then snap the dash trim piece back in place. I don't have instructions on how to do that on the LCI but they normally just pull off with a plastic pry tool made for that purpose.

Or, the simplest method may be this.. ..
