i don't like to buy the whole led kit for the car that has 7 colors. but i do want to enhance the dim led strip on the door and AC.

is this one way to do it? if so, where to buy the plastic strip? i don't have 3d printer and don't want to be bothered printing and etc.

thanks.

There is also a German company named Benzinfabrik. They sell replacement ambient lighting LED modules that are brighter than the OEM modules. I and many others have used them they're great products. They also offer different 2 color combinations.

So what cause the dim brightness is the module and not the led itself? I thought it is the diode led itself, which led me to think that i have to change the led strip, which is a hideous job, or buy that plastic strip that is just inserted.

The LED module itself causes the dim brightness. Probably the resistor(s) ultimately. An aftermarket LED module is your best bet for more brightness. The rubber strip just focuses the light more.

How about the ac surround trim? It is not as bright, does it use the same module as the door trim? Thanks.

The AC surround uses a different kind of LED module. Benzinfabrik sells a replacement module for that also.

Check this post it outlines the LED modules needed if you go the Benzinfabrik route.

I already bought this footwell led prior to me knowing about benzinfabrik.

I wonder if the blue will match the benzinfabrik module.

What do you think?

The blues won't match unfortunately. The Chinese kits use ice blue aka light blue. The Benzinfabrik modules use regular blue aka a deep blue.

Swapping the led board on the footwell would be the easiest compare to swapping the led on the door trim and ac, right? Just open the housing and swap.

Yes the footwell lights are the easiest followed by the radio trim and lastly the door cards imo.
