True but there is a rather large difference in cheap versus well engineered. That was my only point.

Maybe your sarcasm didn't translate over the keyboard, it sounded like you honestly thought that this is what you already had. Either way, a well engineered product could actually enhance the ambient lighting. The 3-D printed ones are indeed poorly engineered and made. I have ordered the plastic ones with the hopes that it is much better.

Stock is more than bright enough.

Speak for yourself. It's apparently not bright enough if people are making alternatives...especially with black on black interior, it's virtually unnoticeable.

Agreed. I think that the LCI improved this, but on my '14 with black interior, it's not very noticeable. Especially with the Classic setting.

ordered the improved version and significant difference for my 13'. This solved my issue with pre-lci ambient lighting not being visible on a black interior

I recently did mines. The stock ambient is so dim, I didn’t even know they were there for 5 years! Maybe it’s because I had black interior. But I upgraded them with 9 color LED strips that is controlled through iDrive. These are really bright. With the Amazon strips, they look like the new G20, but brighter and longer.
If you just add the strips, they are really ugly during the day because all you see is a milky white plastic. At night, they are OK but really dim. The upgrade was a bitch to install though. Ripping pretty much 80% of the lower panels and all 4 door panels out. My whole body ached the next day... but worth it! The pics are set at 70% brightness for the day shot, and 30% for the night shot. |

Yeah that looks great.
IMO the amazon plastic strips are not worth at all. I put them in my '14 328 and they were just an ugly ass white during the day, just looked cheap and shitty. And kinda looked like a $60 teenager mod even at night too. But that full led swap... now that is sexy.

Ambient Upgrade ... purchase here
Quote:
I am curious to see how much the white plastic is visible during the day, and hoping the angle and depth (recessed) on my car is such that it is somewhat hidden. As has been mentioned in this thread, it wouldn't be the most attractive if the white plastic is highly visible during the day. Last edited by SupposeIf; 06-28-2022 at 12:30 PM.. |

That full LED swap was killer but I can tell ya I am not in it for that much work! But if the Ambient Modz works well I would consider giving it a whirl as the Ambient lighting in my car is just lacking. |

There are also direct swaps available from Benzinfrabik for the OEM LED modules and no need to swap out your trim strips on the door panels. The radio trim LED module is available as well. The route provides 2 other colors but not the 9 colors.
