the ambient lighting upgrade is so dope!

Dreamvillainz · 03-22-2019, 07:10 PM

it does looks pretty good.. does makes a difference than stock. I actually put my interior brightness to 75-100% and it just looks amazing!

InstigatorX · 03-23-2019, 03:15 PM

Very cool...Link to buy?

BeerHerder · 03-23-2019, 05:13 PM

After seeing another video, I checked, and I don't have the ambient lighting... which blows, because this looks great.

Gen13 F36 · 03-23-2019, 05:14 PM

Nahhh not my style.... actually I want to turn it off.

Others have posted links. They are on eBay and Amazon. $60 for 4 pieces of plastic.

This has already been posted and discussed many times for almost a year now.

I have this in my car from the factory and I also have the Luxury Line. You can change the color from orange(classic) to Luxury which is white.

OP is showing plastic add-on pieces to enhance the projection of the ambient lighting; he is not promoting the ability to change from Classic to Sport/Luxury/Modern color. You don't have OP's plastic add-on pieces from the factory.

MacklinUSOB · 03-25-2019, 06:28 PM

One of my favorite options. The classic Amber really brings me back to my E38 cockpit.

Edit: I now see that these are overlay pieces for the existing option, thought they looked brighter than normal.

FYI mine melted in the sun and are now permanently warped. I'm just glad it didn't melt so much to ruin my M3 CS interior. I'd rather get solid plastic ones than these 3-D printed ones.

You do not have these inserts from the factory because BMW doesn't make them. The video is of a 3-D printed insert you place on top of the factory ambient lights to make them show more.

These aren't on amazon. If you found them, please post them so we don't have to waste time searching for some other thread that will probably just say "others have posted the links" and waste everyone's time.

Here they are on ebay, there are 2 types: 3-D printed and solid plastic. The 3-D printed ones in the video are crap. I have yet to try the solid plastic ones.

Well ok then. I guess I was mistaken. Why not just be happy with what BMW engineers spent so much time and effort to build? As has been posted already, cheap eBay 3D printed add-ons almost never end up doing much but costing you wasted money.

Why get a tune? Why get a charge pipe? Why get aftermarket suspension? Why get better tires? Why get track pads? Why get camber plates?

Thanks, but I'm not interested in them, so there's no need for me to do the search work for those that want them. I gave the thread more info than OP did to find them. So--you're welcome.

Except I can't find them on amazon, so it looks like your info might be wrong.

I'm just really annoyed with people saying there's links out there and to look instead of just posting the links. After awhile searching for the links becomes extremely difficult because the posts that say there is a link vastly outnumber the post with the link. It's a waste of time.

Oops. "and" "or" "and/or" -- whatever.

I know we are all used to 100% accurate info on internet forums, and the internet in general.

But yet, you found them. Thanks for correcting the record.

We can't be 100%, but we can try.
