You don't have the ambient lighting package .. so no OEM footwell lights, no door lighting and no cup holder lights.. right ?

But you are certain that you can get the mod described here to work with the current lighting that came with the car meaning once the dash lights up in orange due to the light sensors registering night time then the lights in the footwells will turn on ? Is my assumption on point or am I reading too much into your explanation ?

Basically my F34 came with no lighting whatsoever .. so I tried retrofitting the lci a/c trim, but as I had no cup light or footwell lights there was nowhere to tap into for power and light control. My FEM is only mid version and I honestly can't be bothered with fitting a new fem module so I'm looking for some way of retrofitting light to the interior it's not just the lights coming off of the dash…
No, I don't have any light package, I only have aftermarket footweel light, my FEM is ZB4-MID :/ according to the Ace320 video description, you can control the B-pillar light brightness from headlight switch:


I have not done it yet, but by tapping power to a aftermarket LED strip from the cables, it should work like I write. Hopefully I'll receive the package this month, you can wait and see

Lets hope you're right. Looking forward to seeing how you get along.
Although the video says he has no lighting package I did notice that he has an illuminated a/c radio trim.. so either he has the cup holder light or the oem footwell lights to tap into. I have none of those

Next project is a simple Obd-hud and B-pillar ambient lighting . For spring I am adding the full light package if my FEM supports it





Hey love the setup you have here. Would you mind telling me where did you get the wrap of the steering wheel? Thanks!

Ofc. It's from MEWANT:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B089VSZXTZ/...410GM1FRFBRBSV

I removed the steering wheel and all the trim pieces, easier to do and cleaner resultat. There are numerous vids:

I did not use the double sided tape.

In case you're on the fence if you should save a buck with aftermarket trim or go OEM

I haven't done a whole lot to mine, I really like the colors/materials as-is for the most part.



One thing I did though, is rewrap the steering wheel with Nappa leather. Feels much better than the factory, almost polyurethane feeling material.

So complete stage 2 of my ambient lighting upgrade, added ambient lights to my rear speakers. All main leds upgrades to Benzinfabrik and speakers using lci. Ran out of optic fibre to complete the door pockets. May also do the front tweeters for that G series look.

Very happy with how it came out.

Woah this is awesome! What are the part numbers for those lci leds and led holders if you don’t mind me asking.


I’d love to add some additional lighting to my door cards.

Testing out some accent trim that came today. Steering wheel might be a bit much but I'm digging the center console look.
