My Ambient Lighting install 2.0
I posted some pics and comments in this thread showing my first attempt at ambient lighting on a budget:

Well, for my birthday I received my replacement lights and finally got around to installing them....
For this setup I went with LEDGLOW's Million Mini Set that is expandable and uses usb cables for power connectors.
This kit also has sound activation that responds to music playing. I have a short example of that here, I'm still working out the buttons on the remote as some functions are activated with sound and some aren't: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcxmJ...ature=youtu.be
My hope with this kit is to use the expansions to get presence in the cupholders....I still haven't found a good cheap alternative to the OEM option yet.
As you can see in the pictures below, I mounted the control module in the center console and ran the usb cord to the bottom of the chairs where I mounted the LED strips with double sided tape. Very painless install. :-)

I used Plasma Glow.....but I wanted only blue, I was going to get the remote set up from neon lights but they wouldn't ship to canada...
I still have to add my last light to the inside of my console yet...
