Here's that thread on diffusing the light before it gets to the knob, and a link directly to the gallery.

I think that this (or figuring out how to diffuse the light within the knob itself) makes a lot more sense than trying to cram on more LEDs. Of course, that's all academic for me, as I'm not looking to add more lights to the interior of my car.
