Default Ambient Lighting

I've read the 100 post on this site concerning adding ambient lighting to our trucks.
I have a 2009 Platinum and would like to add the ambient lighting that the newer models have.
After reading through all the threads, I still can't figure out which part numbers I'd need to buy.
Can anyone help?

Maybe I should have clarified a little better.
Thanks for the part #.
The ambient lighting kit on the new platinum's have a cup holder ring that illuminates. this ambient lighting kit has a drilled out hole for one LED light for the cup holder. I was actually looking to match the kits up exactly. I've read you need to order the ambient kit, the cup holder ring and a new console kit to "sandwich" it. My question was whether or not my 09 platinum would need all these pieces. I never could find a firm answer.

I just installed the after market ambient lighting. I'm very disappointed that Ford would stand behind a two bit, lame, setup like that.
They call it OEM but it's nothing like the platinum. I really would have expected more out of Ford.
I love my 2012 f150 lariat with the Eco boost however.
I'll probably break down and get the platinum ambient lighting.
Let me know if you need some tips on installation should you get the aftermarket setup.

As soon as I seen their aftermarket kit I knew it wasn't for me. I bought a loaded FX4 because I liked the style of it over the platinum. I also want the FACTORY ambient lighting kit. I have a body shop and my estimating software gives me a very nice detailed image of the entire factory system. I also have all the list prices and part numbers. Its going to be an expensive adventure. When I get to work tomorrow I will upload the image and the parts list and prices.

Wasn't cheap but I did it anyway. I'll have to take some pictures at night. I got a platinum console and robbed the parts and put them in the fX4.
