Default Ambient Light

So my 2013 lariat did not come with Ambient light and I want to install it. What I found after doing some goggling, is the part #CL8Z-13E700-AA. But that only shows the strip for the cup holder and for the foot well. Is that it? Or did it come with more lightning?

Has anybody installed the ambient kit before?

Thank you

This is where people will tell you don't buy that kit, build your own kit for far less money

Yeah, also been reading that you wont be able to use the nav to change the colors (which was what I wanted). Maybe I am wrong but I think it would be better to just create my own then..

Maybe I am wrong, but oh well...

Get the Opt7 led interior kit on Amazon for 45.00. Has as many colors as the oem kit, and uses a small remote...

Yep, don't think you'll ever get it integrated into the NAV. Do a search here - there are two or three long threads for different lights and options. Search for Opt7 - that is what I used and the thread I posted in other guys used different things. Cup holder lighting is not an easy thing to achieve without rolling up your sleeves - some good methods described though.

the new led tubes seem like a great option for the cup holder
