Retrofit ambient lighting
Hello,
I have a 420i GC. Is it possible to install ambient lighting on it? I seem to have the option on iDrive but it does nothing. The trim pieces also seem to have an insert where the LEDs would go. |

What color is your interior? If black, you won't see it much in the doors as the black just absorbs the light.

It is indeed black with a black roofline. However I did see it on a friend's 440i which also has the same interior and it looked really great. Makes the car look a lot more premium (and expensive)
