There's a seller on eBay that can make them custom for you. Whatever you want them to say, color of light, and length. I just tucked the wires under the pillar and tapped into the front footwell light for each side. I'll try to get you the sellers name

Quad LED Fogs



+ wireless phone charger in the center console.


The Lighted door sills are cool . I would have done that if my car didn't have those installed from factory.

Sure - will do once I am back (out of town right now).

In the meanwhile, here are the links to the induction charger and the short usb cable that I used. This particular charger is not very sensitive to the phone orientation or placement so works well inside the center console since you can place your phone without having to place it at a particular angle or spot. I have iPhone 8. For the most part, this charger is sitting on the mock snap-in tray inside my center console. I connected it via a small cigarette lighter because I wanted to keep the i-drive usb open for playing movies and music.

LED Turn and Fog

marmit2017, what LEDs (links or part numbers) did you use for both the turn and Fogs? I have the same vehicle and I'd be great to know what has worked already.

Here's the thread. By turning I'm assuming you mean cornering light? Because mine is pre lci and the turn signals are already led
