Cjzin Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Has anyone done a aftermath ambient light kit that’s tied into the parking lights? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 (edited) What year car? Are you thinking that the lights come on only with the parking lights, or function normally and also with the parking lights and ignition off? Edited; Was reading about the kit on Ford Accessories.com. Set your own mood – and choose your preferred interior LED lighting color – with this Interior Light Kit. It includes a LED-generated light in the cupholder area, and separate light bars for the front wheel wells. Surprised to learn that the interior light kit also included light bars for the front wheel wells. (My factory lighting doesn't have these.)

Wubster100 Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 There are people that have tied ambient light power into the power for the factory ambient lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wubster100 Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 From the WSM: Ambient Lighting The ambient lighting subsystem consists of the BCM, and the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) located within the floor console, front and rear door panels, instrument panel and front and rear footwell areas. The ambient lighting is operational when the ignition is in any state other than OFF (the exception is when it is used in conjunction with the illuminated entry/exit features), the headlamps are on and the outside ambient light level is low. The BCM provides the voltage to the ambient lighting system, while the touchscreen ( FDIM) is used to cycle through the different color variations cardiagn.com or turn the ambient lighting feature on or off. A LIN circuit is routed from the BCM to all of the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). There are 3 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) (red, blue and green) housed within each LED assembly. By illuminating various color combinations, the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are able to produce different colors of ambient light. The APIM uses software to monitor the user interface from the touchscreen. Based on the ambient lighting system selections made using the touchscreen, the APIM sends ambient light color request and ambient light intensity request messages over the communication network for color and brightness settings. The BCM retains the last color and brightness setting between uses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubster100 Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 For 2021-2024, the only color choice is ice blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at the Ford Accessories Ambient Light Kit and it only fits 09 through 19. So the factory kit doesn't fit. Wonder if there are there any aftermarket kits that would fit his 2022 SEL? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubster100 Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 You can get OEM ambient LEDs and connect them to the BCM. Then you can enable them with FORScan. You could also get any 12v LED strips and connect them to a circuit or power source. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
