Center console and cup holder lighting DIY
All right yall, I wanted to share my latest DIY, and very cool interior lighting project. This kit looks fantastic and adds integrated lighting to the center console that should have been included already. This applies for G42 and G87 automatics only, and adds color correct LED lighting to the trim and cup holders.
The kit is from Infinite Autowerks and is an easy install.

Is there a reason other than maybe less manuals that prevents them from investing in making a manual kit? Would love this.

I tested the kit for them in my manual, and there is just no way to make it fir. They are considering a manual kit, but can't say yes or no, and likely no.

Disappointed. I thought the lights were going to run up the side of the shifter along the edge of the new carbon knee peices. Not just in the cup holders that will be closed (for me ) 99% of the time

This is super cool! Question, so I have the piano black trim in mine but I'd absolutely wanna replace it with the carbon trims they have but my center console would have to be matched. Know any 1:1 matching console trims?
Also bummer that they sell a $350 ENET cable on there just to activate the lights lol. I have a $50 Bluetooth OBD and I can imagine I'd be able to code anything they can |

It would be nice if you had an exchange program whereby a customer could send in their cup holder for a retrofit. Many people don’t feel comfortable doing it themselves.
