Smile Interior led trim install


I purchased my ux250h 2 weeks ago to replace my lovely 2018 Mercedes, and one thing I notice is how dark the interior was. No light into cup holder no light on door handle, an no led strip in dash, so I order a kit to resolve This fade interior looking. I installed the led trim quite easily installation took about 3 hours, but I guess a pro could do this in about 1 hour. Finding the best spot where to pass and mount wires without doing hole and hiding wires was quite easy. This led kit used optic fiber with Bluetooth controller and have multi color effect and music effect with your phone for 50$ you have 5 rgb led Lights kit, more than i need… I use only two led spotlight for creating my front dash and console. I think the time spend for doing more than this like door handle will look like BAD AFTERMARKET looking. I still have two led spotlight left to install behind seat footwell and front footwell instead of very low with Oem white led. I will update later with more pics.

I would like to see bright (well lit) day time (bright) inside photos of the LEDs when *OFF*

They do look nice lit but my worry is how they will look OFF in the day time. it would be cool if you could hide the strips under the trim so they aren't exposed in the day.

But for that only pic provided thus far, I think it looks great!

Wow. This is nice. I agree that the UX interior is dark. This really brighten it up in a way. I love the interior ambient lighting in my GLC.
