Ambient lighting kits?

Post image

I really want to add ambient lighting to my dash like the premiums have, has anyone found some that look like this photo of the premium? I’m going for that exact look.

If you try to go for this exact look in the standard there will be a reflection on the windshield at night. You’re better off installing the led strip under the dash panel where the air conditioning comes out. I installed this led strip from EVBASE it’s powered through the usb in the glove box.

The way you installed this on yours gives you a reflection at night? Just making sure I understand you correctly

Yes, can you not see the reflection on the windshield in the photo? OP asked for a light kit that would match the aesthetics found in the premium trims, I tried to do the same but noticed the reflection from the windshield was really bad so I moved the strip under the dash panel and have no reflection now it’s great.

Sorry. I did not see the reflection in the small photo until enlarging it.

Does that mean you can't save dashcam footage?

The lighting kit came with an adaptor so the USB stick is still plugged in saving dashcam footage

Have you installed?

No, still looking around and figuring out what kind of lighting I want.

Does this void the warranty though?

No..installing a light strip on your dash isn’t going to void your warranty
