For Sale Ambient Cabin Overhead Lighting

[Inthezone]

Where do you wire the yellow lead into and what route does it take?

 

[saxoboy]

The yellow wire goes across the roof space and down the a pillar (poke it between the window and the roof lining) and once you have the wire behind the light switch you need to connect it to the grey/ purple lead.

Its all in the instructions

@saxoboy Can I have a kit for the ambient lighting please!

Fwiw I've just installed this unit today, and I found it easy enough to remove the A pillar trim. Ease off the cover on the handle, undo the two bolts, the trim is held on by 3 clips, they lever off with a bit of care and the entire trim comes away (remains attached to the small speaker).

I prefer this method as I've previously cracked the windscreen on my SQ5 trying to bury a wire behind the A pillar....

Cheers for the heads up! I had a new windscreen fitted yesterday so probably not best to try wedging anything down there then! I'll go the removal route!

It’s spot on mate! They turned up that same day and I think I had it all installed within the hour! Removed the A Pillar and did it properly, routed the yellow cable with some mgmt clips and soldered it on the the blue/grey wire, easy. Looks smart, especially with the comfort dash. Gives a nice glow off the silver trim surrounds in the dash. Cheers for the service mate.

Always loved the subtle ambient lighting in my Merc, and I think I need it in The Van! I've PM'd you Matt!

 

[saxoboy]

Nice 1 @ThreeBridgeT6, very smart after the install.....I reckon 40mins and you won't believe the difference it makes ....obviously, in the dark!!!......not just yet.....however it depends on where you live I guess....being on the NC500 the last 12 days....its gets very dark when the heavens open!!!!

 

[T6DSGChris]

Great service and support from @saxoboy I had mine fitted in 30 mins. Very subtle mod, here’s some pics taken in a pitch black car park, it’s a bit more subtle in the flesh. Here the back lighting is set to max. Nice little mod.

[saxoboy]

[Superowls]

@saxoboy I'll take one of these if you have any left pal??

 

[Daffy]

Hi @Daffy ....just PM'ed you

I fitted mine up yesterday and went out last night to pick my son up, I’m really impressed with this kit, a lovely red glow around the centre dash/gearstick area, easy to fit and looks totally OE (because it is).

I had been looking at these for a while and am so glad I pulled the trigger - recommended!

Hi @Superowls just Pm'ed you

Light kit arrived today, easy enough to fit with the instructions provided, looks good in the daylight - should look better at night
Definitely recommended upgrade
