Has anyone installed one of these light kits?

[CaptSteve]

I want to add some lighting to my console. I was wondering if anyone has installed one of these kits?
Thoughts on quality?
Do any of the supporting vendors sell these?
Thanks for any input.

P.S. I read the forum rules and hopefully posting a link is not against them. I apologize in advance if its not allowed.

I’ve bought a majority of the light upgrades, including the console lights, on my truck through them. Haven’t had any issues. Highly recommended.

I’ve had their puddle lights on for about three years now with no problems. I had nothing but issues from two other makers and was going to give up till I found these guys.

I guess what I am not understanding about this kit is that once you install the led cord under the console cover how does the light escape to light it up?

Maybe a stupid question but does the cord make a gap between the trim once installed?

I just dont want to purchase something that is going to look tacky.

It appears these don't change color. You buy the color you like and that's all you have. I've seen another that offers more colors, but I believe is battery operated and looked really add on. Ford used to offer a dealer installed ambient light kit. Not sure if they still have that.

I've got those but haven not had them installed right, since its hard to align them to be flushed with the chrome trim nicely.
They now sit in the garage.

We don't sell this because it'll fail. We've had people tell us those lights they sell for the cup holders fail over time. Doesn't surprise me. That's nothing more then those flexible RGB strips that are junk.

I bought a set and I tried to install them yesterday. After ******** around for about an hour trying to align them under the chrome trim ring I pulled them out. There was no way to get them to look anything other than cheesy.
Wasted my money on them. Lesson learned.

I had already ordered mine before I saw this post. I dont know if they fail or not as far as working but I do know they fail as far as being able to align the strips under the chrome trim ring. After an hour of ******** with them I said screw it.
They wont be getting installed. To cheesy for me.
