Ambient Light Upgrade?

Only have 3 color options and pretty dim compared to the newer 64 color options

Has anyone done an upgrade like DMP car design is offering?

I have the same 3 color system as you. Comparing it to what is shown in those pictures it seems like any retrofit would be pretty involved and probably cost prohibitive.

There are multiple vendors on eBay selling kits for center console, doors, and footwell for around $300. Another $300 and you can get the lights in the A/C vents. The sky is the limit. I wonder how difficult it is in particular the door lights as they go on the bottom of the panel with the seat controls and speakers.

Yeah, tempted to give it a try but wonder if it's just too much glitz

yes, the once for ~ $300 on e-bay appear to wire directly into your system and you can control them through your OEM vehicle control settings. Here is one for sedan w/o oem 3 color setup.

Well guys I pulled the trigger and spent 1.2 on a complete upgrade (+a few additional)

It's supposed to be 100% plug and play with 0 wire cutting

& the biggest pro....controlled through the OEM color changer, 100% stock look

About 2 weeks shipping, will post results.

64 ambient kit roughly
5 front air vent
2 rear vents
3d rotating tweeker speakers x2
Burmeister cover replacements x4
front dash silver trim peice replacement

All this supposed to work and be in synced with 64 colors

(Was cheaper then ebay, I compared both)

hey looking at the pics it looks like they are showing it for the Face Lift style vents. Im assuming if you order lights for the vents, it doesnt matter if you have the turbine style vent or not?

I have the older style, but they providing the turbine vents with color built in, so it's a vent swap as much as a color upgrade.

Shipping details say arriving tomorrow!

If they're as high quality as the packaging then I'm in for a good time 😁
