How to: B Pillar light retrofit.
I have made a little tutorial video for those who are looking how to retrofit B pillar ambient light.
It is not that hard, actually it's very easy. |

I just will not put any aliexpress part in my car where an airbag is involved. I'm not willing to bet my life on aliexpress. |

Since Airbag curtain is coming from the roof, and this is just lights hooking to the door connector, I think you should be pretty safe here...

The actual airbag is not in the B pillar, it's in the roof, you are 100% safe.
I wouldn't do it if it wasn't safe. Also, it's just pair of LED's in the plastic cover. |

Push IN on the tab thru the window with a small jeweler screwdriver while at the same time pulling on the wire. Pin will slide out of the connector body. To replace pin, line up pin so spring lock tab is on correct side & slide pin into hole until you hear a slight click and the pin will not pull out Done

Has anyone done this mod on a F32?
I would assume that the wire bundle running along floor to rear quarter panels 'should' have the same wires available that go to the Ambient lighting in quarters? Gonna do this mod on my F32 same time as I swap out for my new M4 Seats

OK, finally got around to installing my new M4 Seats so I got a chance to do the Ambient Pillar Light mod in my F32
*You can get the rear quarter panels off by simply removing the rear seat cushion, side bolsters, & upper seat belt covers normally Once the rear seats are out:
