There was a guy that did that to his late 4th gen TA. He drilled a bunch of tiny holes in the bird on the filler panel, ran lengths of fiberoptic cable from those holes to a remotely mounted light, and then glued the cables to the light and the filler panel.

With the light off, you couldn't even see the holes, at night with the light on, it looks awesome.
