They’re aftermarket but they look OEM

+1, OP if you can contact the seller and update us if it could work in tandem with rest of the car’s ambient lighting it’ll be a super upgrade

I had these on my MOD list until I saw they don't work with manual cars.

Not sure, but it says this in the eBay description "Reminder: Only suitable for cars with automatic shifting, not for cars with manual shifting"

Found this thread on the g80 forums, the led will be the same color as the led strip of the dashboard, not the footwell lights. I went ahead and ordered it. Also found this installation video on youtube |

This didn’t work in my m2, when I unplug the stock connection for the LED to connect the nee mights and piggy port for stock connection, my ambient lights turn off even when the setting is on. I tried messing with different color options and still everything remained off.

What do you mean the ambient light turns off? Are you referring to the eBay light strips or the foot well lights.
I know the cars got footwell entry light and then the footwell lighting should switch to whatever the ambient color is right? |

Both footwell and dashboard LED turn off when you make the connections, and the ebay piece would light up at first but now it doesn’t light up at all.

Did the kit come with any instructions or have you reached out to the seller about the behavior of the kit?

Taking delivery of my M2 soon. this always bothered me how little ambient light is in the G87/G42.
These guys are local to me and developed at kit which now works on M2. Apparently they can also make the chinese ali kits work too if you already bought them. i got the full console suite with cupholder lights too but you can opt for just the console. Excited to take delivery and get this thing modded! https://infiniteautowerks.com/shop/i...ighting-suite/

Since I already have the china made kit. How do I engage the service of this vendor to help make my set work? I am assuming what I bought is not going to work… based on others who have tried. My M2 arrives next week

its probably some clip mounting differences between auto and manual. you may be able to modify the auto versions to work. i gotta imagine some locations are the same.
