Great write up!!! I'm going to be doing this mod soon on my 2WD Express Quad Cab. That Console LED is used to light up the cupholder in the center console at night.
To do this you'll need to use the panel light source since it should only come on when the headlights are on. The Green headliner connector doesn't have that lead being feed to it. I would use the power source I used for lighting the fold down cup holder in the center bezel, and that was the panel light source that is part of the 4WD selector leads. My 2WD Express had the leads sitting unplugged behind the center bezel and the lead works great to power a Green #194 bulb to light up the cupholder at night and can be dimmed by the headlight switch. Although I'm not sure that the Console LED light is really needed in my case.
