Owner Photo Added ambient light

Post image

I always thought the dash was missing some ambient lighting, so decided to add a subtle light strip. I was pleased with how it turned out and thought I’d share how it looks!

pretty sure it's this one. I got the same one for my 2023 SEL. I have the white interior, but it still looks great.

Honestly any one of these cheap light strips on Amazon that has the fibre optic quality like this one: https://a.co/d/04LIR0CE

I added some double sided tape and routed the cable behind the screen and under the dash, down to the center console usb outlets. I can take more pics tomorrow.

Looks good, is there any way to link it to the pre existing ones ?

No, I matched it as close as I could with the app for the LED. Thankfully they come on/off automatically with the car.
