New ambient lighting mods 😁

This is my ambient lighting fully idrive compatible, blue and orange and brightness adjustable.
Ambient lights include - door cards, speakers, center console, pillar lights, rear under seats, footwell lights.
They look awesome on! Well happy this is on my f34 but I'm sure compatible with most others. I must say thanks Aleco Christofi at ACE SERVICES Tamworth , AWESOME WORK AS ALWAYS. There are before and after in photos I'm sure you can spot what is what?

Looks awesome, nice job, may I ask how you illuminated the speakers? DIY or a kit?
Thanks

Looks cool! Very much more illuminated then the standard dull lights. Is this the kit they are selling on ali, or custom built?

Thanks I'm not sure I had it done for me they changed loads and upgrades areas too.
I'm really happy with the end result!

You can buy all matching lights (doors + radio trim + B Pillar) on ebay/aliexpress and they all match. You control the light intensity and color through idrive. It is necessary to have the lighting package to do this. I'm not sure if you can code in the ambient light package with bimmercode or other software. Doors + b Pillar + radio trim was around ~$200 USD last year, not sure how much it is now.

It can be turned right down from the idrive under the normal brightness option,
I was just showing for example the highest brightness.

You can swap the China b pillars from blue to white by soldering in white LEDs to replace the blue ones.

Not hard, looks stock, and you won’t get pulled over by cops for showing blue lighting, nor will rando people try to get in thinking you are their Uber.

You can get them on Amazon. I just got some for mine. Cost about $65. Super easy install, takes 5 minutes.

Could you share the link? Also, assuming this will work if my car came with the oem ambient lighting?

Those are the Chinese eBay repop parts, the blue/orange combo is a dead giveaway.

I will say the b pillars are nice and easier to install than the over complicated Bmw OEM version.
