A/C Dash Trim Ambient Light retrofit

Oldmandigo · 08-07-2023, 11:13 PM

I have a 2014 320i. I am trying to retrofit the ambient light trim. I found the piece and I have the light by the cigarette port/ Cup Holder light. I just need the Y Harness to connect the trim piece and the light. I read somewhere that there was an OEM harness. Some people made it. Could I get some help finding the part number if there is an OEM harness. If not, what did you guys buy to make the harness?

Thank you.

I advise you to take a look at this post, as it has everything you need to get the end result you want. If you're not confident in your crimping ability, or do not want to bother making your own custom harness, you can order one off ebay or aliexpress, just type in "Cupholder LED Ambient Light AC/Radio Adapter Y Cable F30". The harness goes for 8$ or less.

Even if you end up buying a ready-made harness, I'd still encourage you to make your own wiring harness, if you're keen on doing significantly more involved retrofits in the future which would require building your own harness.
