show us what you had to do to make this upgrade work

 

These are peel and stick. They are strip stickers that act as lens to the existing lights. Easiest mod ever.

 

Check out the ambient door lighting upgrade ($51 w/ shipping, flex plastic inserts not 3D printed) from AmbientModz.com, which I recently ordered but haven’t received yet (I believe it’s shipped from the UK). It’s the only viable simple solution I’ve been able to find, having searched the web and a couple BMW forums.

The manufacturer provides a few installation videos with impressive before/afters. The only criticism I’ve read is that during daylight the plastic insert may be a tad more visible than one prefers, but it doesn’t appear that way in the video.

They fit in the housing of the original module board, each door takes 3 PCB boards, door handle, behind the upper trim and the bottom trim.
It will require you remove the door panel.
I went with this one since mine is LCI and I have already the 2 options for ambient light

Older BMW F01 F02 F04 has only 2 pins as its only orange and I think they sell it too!

First link is from UK & 2nd one is from Germany and I got them within 2 weeks.

 

Ordered the AmbientModz inserts from the UK on June 27 and rcv'd today (July 7). Installed and worth every penny. I had a concern that during daylight the plastic insert would be a tad more visible than I prefer. Problem solved to my satisfaction by placing the insert deeper into the groove. There is some "play" there which allows you to make the lighting (inserts) more or less visible. I would rather see slightly less orange during the evening than more white plastic during the day.

I believe the average person (dare I say even a BMW owner) wouldn't notice the white plastic during the day, and after a short while I won't either.

Hi guys! Does the Ambient Light strip covers that fits to F30/F11 also fit to F10/F11? Where to find for F10/F11?

 

It fits the F10 without shortening, I assume the F11 is the same and same thing for the F30
