OK. Ashtray delete sounds interesting. The ashtray in it now... the lid won't stay down. I pop the shifter (AT) to manual (Tiptronic), the the lid pops open. More an annoyance then anything. What would go in that spot?
Yes. Cars. Money. Learned that $12K ago on the 325es partial restore. Fackin money pit.
OK. So plain old LEDs... with no worries about amperage interfering with the electrical system... resistors in line... etc?
The ambient lighting I guess, after reading the rest of the post... is more footwell. From eBay I purchased, for about $26, a package that contained 4 fairly solid-feeling LED light strips... I beliebe 12 LEDS per strip... that connect into a little harness... connected to the sensor. Comes with a little remote. I put 2 of the strips on that little lip... on the carpet... directly under but in front of the seats. The 3M adhesive sticks nicely to the carpet. Likewise under the dash and where would be the glovebox. Carpet or adhesive will work for fixation. I found that if you choose your color setting, and then shut of the car... when you return to it and turn on the key it will default to the last color. This I learned the hard way when after first installing it everytime I started the car it looked like a multi-colored disco hall in the cab. Flashing lights, multi-colored. LOL. I had my stereo installer hard-wire it in. Inexpensive, and updated the look.
Thanks for the ideas!
How about a pair of those side air vent scoops that stick out a bit? Got a line on those?
