I did that mod years ago before anyone had started using EL on pins. I
didn't want the mod to look cheesy and wanted it to be reversible if
necessary.
The key to it loooking good (IMO) is the EL wire must follow the
curvature of the ramp *exactly* and you shouldn't be able to see how
it's attached. It should almost look like it's molded into the ramp.
