I recently rented a Ford Escape and I really liked the ambient lighting.

So I put together a kit.

Prices

$70.00 - single color
$80.00 - million colors
$100.00 - sound activation (million color kit only).

Controller will mount in the center console.

SMD LED tubes will mount under the back of the rear seats to provide light to the rear seat foot wells and under the dash in the front to light up the front foot wells.

Will include 4 SMD LED tubes, controller, remote control, mounting hardware, and detailed installation instructions.

This looks awesome.

In the first post you mentioned "fade." Does that mean they would be dimmable (so as not to be superbright (i.e., user could control the light output/setting)?

Hi

I must be getting old as I really can't see the point of ambient lighting.

Does the valet lighting only come on when you lift the door handle or can it come on when you use the fob to unlock the door?

Love your accent Chris W, (I know what accent). Makes me want to drink some of Haggis' moonshine :lol::beer:

It all depends on how you connect it.

I have mine hooked up to the dash lights so whenever the the dash lights are on the ambient lights are on.

The kit also comes with a remote.

The Aviator has the courtesy lights come on with the fob. It's a nice feature when approaching the car in a lot or if it's really dark out in the driveway.

Ships one week from when I receive payment.

Since I am a small vendor I don't keep a large amount of parts in stock.

Please add to the rest of my lights order.
Can you make the kit turn on the lights with any of the car doors opened?

I prefer soft, light blue lighting. I loath the green.
