Hey folks — quick follow-up on the ambient lighting kit I posted about earlier. The install is DONE, and wow… I’m genuinely blown away by how much this mod transformed the interior of my A-Class. It’s a total game changer at night.

The lighting looks OEM and super refined — not overly flashy, just smooth, elegant, and immersive. Easily one of my favorite upgrades to date.

Favorite Part? The Co-pilot trim.
The illuminated star Co-pilot trim completely stole the show for me. Once powered up, they give the dash such a high-end AMG vibe — especially with the color cycling mode on. It’s subtle during the day, but absolutely stunning at night.

And let’s talk about the A-pillar tweeters for a sec — the texture and finish are seriously premium. I was shocked to find they actually rotate — didn’t expect that level of detail. When I asked CarAktis about it before ordering, they told me these were their most technically advanced components, and honestly… I believe it now.

Quick Install Notes:
Removing the panels takes patience. Definitely recommend trim tools and taking your time — but the end result is absolutely worth it.

Make sure to test each section as you go. Saved me from having to reopen a door after a missed connector.

Photos (taken last night!):

Honestly, I hope to upload a video of the 4D rotary treble— it's absolutely insane! The sound alone gives me goosebumps every time. Just too good.
