I have a 2011 f10 with the ambient lighting package that is just the amber color on the door trims and pockets. I am wanting to add it to the dashboard, including under the idrive screen and headlight switch- maybe change the rest of the lighting to multicolor, as shown in the pic. Anyone do anything like this? Suggestions?

I also have a 2011 F10 and I am interested in doing this mod. The lighting in that picture you posted is badass!! I am sure that many F10 owners would be interested in doing this. I am researching it currently. Hopefully some other members will jump in and together we can sort this out and write up a DIY on this mod..Where you find that picture ?

There are a few guys in the various FB groups that have this done but it seems most have gone the route of getting a shop to do it.

It's more of a PITA then it was worth. I'm still having some issues with it b/c the instructions you receive are complete garbage, waiting until it gets warmer then I'll rip it all apart and figure it out.

But just make sure you buy the more expensive unit with the 9 color options if you want more than red and blue. I believe the 2color systems have a button on the LED strip to change the colors, the 9 color unit has 2 options depending on whether it's NBT or not, for NBT you control thru iDrive (I believe) whereas I have to manage color and brightness thru my radio keys.

But if your interested I can try and put together a write-up/how-to. Just need temps above 40/50's, my desk job has made me a sissy for cold temps.

That would be great. Very interested to see how the colors are changed with a CIC.

Here's a video installing colored ambient lighting for pre-LCI F10's. It's only $50. I would probably splurge, but I have an LCI F10. Grant is a member here.
