Dude, the little details you thought of and the solutions you came up with tells me you're a genius, and that this isn't your first rodeo. I would have never thought that this could be something easy and you made it look so simple and clean.
For cool gimmicks like these, there's often few videos on it, and whatever is there is low quality videos. Thank you for making a high quality video on this; it's a hard find.

Ddid this to my corolla, and people always are amazed at how good it looks inside. Added pillow leather seats too. Added an elegant wood wrap to certain parts as well. People just can't believe it's a corolla LOL!!! A little bit of smarts, can go a long way. For around 1k I made my car look, and feel allot like something that costs10-15 x its price.

I know the huge improvement of these things would be the trim to be colored. so it looks nice during the day too. not this clear stuff. I don't know about fiber optic but I think some EL stuff comes colored.

No way to get lost very well explained.. flexx since you car doesn't have mirror puddle lights, why you dont get an aftermarket puddle lights for your car. Having the dynamic turn signals along with the puddle light your car would be looking awsome.. I hope you consider that... any other than that very good video..

After riding in my 2020 GLE350 loaner that has mood lighting, I really wanna do this mod to my W204 now. This video has been great and I appreciate how you went over the different components and how they function before migrating to the install. I'm thinking about also adding the 10.25" Samsung screen to my vehicle too. I wonder if users could install the color change app on that device to update colors???
Do the driver side like the passenger too. Passenger looks way better
Looks bomb 💣!!!! Great job!!!
Nice....might try this since EL wire sucks and doesn't last more than 6 months if you're lucky. Hopefully this lasts a while
Appreciate the video. Looks good. Gonna suck when someone has to remove them door panels tho.

Lol... He said Throb 😆
I want to know how they’re going for you know later on and whether they’re still working. I went out, bought their kit and installed it professionally and all the wireless boxes failed one by one a month later. They eventually sent out new boxes and now they’ve all failed as well! I feel like our recommendations are extremely contrary
Please tell me where the power supply of the back door is connected, thank you.
This is a lot of work that as a car novice I would not feel comfortable doing. I would like to install a lighting system, but I would also be willing to pay for it be done. Any suggestions on where? Dallas, TX.

I know this video is 7 months old but I just did this in my 2013 lexus gx 460 and while it's not perfect it looks pretty good for a DIY project. If anyone wants any help/tips and tricks feel free to ask and I'll try to respond. Quick important note though, in my car the cigarette lighter didn't work (which may be different for others) so I had to run it to the fuze box. It still has the exact same effect though
