Ambient Lighting Finished! 💡


Recommended Posts

Finally finished installing ambient lighting in my 2021 Edge. The cup holders are OEM and everything else is aftermarket. The cup holders are only ice blue, and they are controlled by the SYNC screen. In each door, I installed a light in the door handle, door storage, and an LED strip along the door trim. I also installed 4 LED lights under the seats to light up the footwell areas. I also installed an LED strip above the glove box. All of the aftermarket lights are controlled by a hidden physical switch or with Bluetooth from my phone. I was able to get the cup holders for free by using Fordpass Points, and the aftermarket lights were only $34 USD (including shipping) for everything. Overall I am happy with the new ambiance.

Was the factory illuminated cup holders plug and play.  Is there a plug already there for the cup holders?  I have a 2024 ST-Line that I would like to put the illuminated cup holders in.

Thanks

The factory illuminated cup holders were not plug and play for my vehicle. I did not have any wiring for ambient lighting from the factory. The cup holders have 2 wires for power, and one wire for “data” or the LIN bus. I had to insert a new wire into the BCM, and run it up to the cup holders. I also had to make changes in FORScan to enable the ambient lighting controls on the touchscreen.
