Ambient light kit install instructions

I got one of these 64 colors ambient light kits (my care came w/o any ambient light) and after downloading their instructions...all in mandarin. Anybody has a link to detailed instructions or even vidoes in English? I know it was posted here before but for some reason can't find the link. Appreciate the help!

(I think my kit came from the e-bay seller "endless")

Thanks. I did find this video since my post but my kit is different, It does not install directly to ODB but to power and has an ODB dongle. Also came with 4 doors, middle console, and footwell, and than this set shown below, which I have no idea where it might go to.Another footwell type strip?

Also, I got two door cables with connectors for all 4 doors ...which maybe front and rear connected for packing only?

Well, I figured out a little bit. The extra plastic light rails and tubes are rear, under seat lights. I also figured out it connects to can bus...now I need to figure out where as this kit has multiple. Also, seems I have more light connectors than light tubes on each harness...I assume they replace the OEM light plugs...not sure. Just a whole lot of connectors. But I don't need to go under carpet, door jams, or door harnesses...just need to figure out where all those "plug and play" connectors go...and there are a lot.

Update to my own thread - was lucky and finally got in touch with seller and I think I am good to go to give it a try to install. Seller was very helpful after all. Looks the install of my set, which seems to be a newer version does not require permanent connection to ODB but power/ground and can bus with a ODB programmer only. Than the 'pins' are gone to make a connection through door - I am happy about that, seemed to be a pain in earlier versions. The additional lightbars are indeed for rear underseat but supposedly dont fit the performance seats. So, will see how it goes, Carplay goes in at the same time. Thanks for helping out.

By the way the the tube is for back of the seats, not under.
yes unfortunately performance seat will not fit.
Feel free to return them for refund, if you'd like.

Thanks! You guys have been very helpful sorting out my issues...waiting for that ODB dongle replacement now to give it another try. Not sure what I could do wrong so last resort is trying a different one.

Make sure the adapter is configured in correct manner.
case 1 or 2 should work.

Make sure you are configuring the pins while adapter is right side up. Some make mistake holding adapter upside down. If doesnt work, your car is one of the cars that doesnt work with these pin OBD. If thats the case, we will get you setup with Wechat OBD. It requires wechat app and process need to be walkthrough by us (unless you can read mandarin). We can walk you through.

I was able to get the ambient light menu which is great but unfortunately it will not control the lights. However all of the lights are working I just do not have control of them even though I have the menu now in my car to control them it will not work. Is there an app I can use from my phone to control the lights.
min the eBay add it said I could control the lights with the application but I’m not sure what app I need to control the lights with my phone.

thanks I know this is an old thread but I need help!!

no it will not change the colors when I scroll through. It is stuck on color 28 and when I change it the lights do not change and then it goes back to color 28 after 5 seconds. The same with brightness set on 5 I change it nothing happens then 5 secs it goes back to 5
thanks

I know it's a very old reply but I am dealing with an exact same issue. I actually coded it my self using DTS monoco but I am missing something. it lights up but can't change color or brightness just like stuck at color 28 and brightness 5.
