Anyone have any experience with the ambient lighting strips (plastic strips) sold online to enhance the shitty ambient lighting our cars come with in the door handles?
I purchased a set, but apparently my car has some plastic piece covering the ambient light that wont allow the strips to be inserted? Ambient LED Light Strips Covers for BMW 3 Series F30 / F31 / F80 - Interior Upgrade for Sharpened Lines https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SG65LWJ..._-CnKFbA1BG5TZ Anyone have experienced this? I have 17 M4 Comp Thanks in advance. |

I have them. You just jam them in between the trim that houses your current ambient light, and the door material. It's a pressure fit. The factory plastic strip that's on there stays on there.
They look okay, not nearly as bright as the 5 series lights: M3 CS Interior Ambient Light by JMG, on Flickr

Yes. The long L of the lighting strip jams up between the factory strip and the leather. Takes seconds to install.

It's dark and I have a nice camera. It doesn't look that bright in person.

Improves and "modernize" the look a lot IMO and you basically just push the thing on the existing lights as its locked in place between the trim. Taken it for a good side road run and they're still sitting the same |

I got them after getting a new 530 as a loaner and noticing the ambient lighting. They do a good job, especially if you code in 100% brightness on bimmercode.
