Not modules but the light Strips. Picked some up from Ali express. Work great but I'd really like multicolor and in more places...

The controller is a custom built part, same as the led modules, but the most important part of it is the digispark, you can buy it here for example.

For reference, below is what my board looks like, before going in a box in the car. Might look complicated, but it's really not:
- tiny usb board is the digispark
- the blue rectangular board is a step down dc-dc converter (optional - if choosing to power the board directly to 12V)
- the 4 resistors are there to make 2 small voltage dividers for the digispark inputs
Everything else is just the prototype board, few wires and connectors. The orange/white cables are the inputs(from the car), the blue/red wires are the outputs(going to the lights). The 2 pins left unconnected are for power.

Hello if you don't mind can I get the schematics for this?

This is pretty cool. INTERESTED BUILDING THIS!! Do you have an updated parts list on where to get everything needed?!

[Omgturbo]

has anyone attempted this recently? got parts on cart getting ready to buy everything needed

Question. If I order the benzinfabrik led boards in my prefered white/lilac is there a way to reverse the pins so the lilac is the sport color and white is the classic color? I rather have the lilac door colors with everything else white than orange.

No need to do that.

Your ambient lighting color doesn't change when your other interior lighting changes between white/orange when it's day or night time.

So which color is sport when my ambient lighting is set to sport/white? Will it be the lilac or white? I do not want lilac and the rest orange.

Classic will be the lilac and sport will be white. That's how my Benzinfabrik LED modules are though so I'm assuming that's how they all are.

If it's dark and you have your ambient lighting set to classic/lilac you won't have a choice the rest of the interior lighting will be orange. The other interior lighting being white or orange works independently from your ambient lighting color choice and is solely based on it being day or night.

I know about the second part. So now I wonder if I swap both positive pins on the led connector will lilac go to the sport/white side instead of the orange. I'll have to purchase one and test it out.

I don't see the benefit of doing that. That will just swap sport to be lilac and classic to be white. But if you insist on it just swap the positive wires in the cable that connects to the LED module holder (the gray plastic piece). You would have to do that for every ambient lighting cable that you get a Benzinfabrik LED module for (front doors, rear doors/panel, radio surround and footwells).
