How To Add Ford Ambient Lighting
#31
One other thing. The part number from Ford's website is 8L8Z-13E700-AA. What is the difference in these two part numbers b/c the kit looks the same

Part number for the Ambient Light Kit for my Lariat 2010 is 8L8Z-13E700-AA (no rings). Canadian list price is about $350. My cost ended up being $313. Dealership quoted me 4-5 hours to install. Actual time to install came in at 2.6 hours. I'm sure 1/2 the time was spent on reading the installation manual. Mind you, Ford changed the console for the 2010 model year. They couldn't mount the second LED in the front cup because in Ontario (Canada) its illegal to have a LED pointed in the direction of the driver. Instead it was placed in the compartment in front of the cupholders. Push switch was mounted on the kick panel. Still happy with the result.

very nice....but I think FORD is WAY overpriced for their product.
I have blue LED's under my front dash, and LED's under my front seats to light up the rear seating area. ($7.99 per flex strip)
And the LED's that ford has can be purchased for about $4.00 a piece. With wiring you could do the same thing yourself for under $50 from Oznium.com, another option from people thinking of doing LED lighting.

no it is not. i have personally installed one the factory one is better. this is two rods and two bulbs the factory does not use rods, and have the bulbs every where. my advice if you want it buy it when you order the truck.

very cool and great write up. but although its a Ford part #, I dont think its the same one that comes on the HD and Platinum models. Im pretty sure you could purchase the cup holder rings and any other parts the factory installed kit brings. Im a big fan of OEM quality stuff but with all the ricer LED companies out there, Im sure you can acquire a similar look for less money.

How can we get our hands on the factory kit?
I would much rather install it into my 11 FX4 than just this Ford accessory kit.
I think having the factory switch, clear cup holder and backseat light makes this feature a lot nicer. I ordered the standard kit but might tell the dealer I do not want it anymore after learning this.
