GM Ambient Lighting

[LowerDeez]

Hello everyone, I am looking to get the ambient lighting that GM offers as a accessory add on with my Sonic. Since I bought the car brand new, my local GM dealer is willing to give me a nice discount on the ambient lighting, but I am looking to see how they look before I decide on them. Anyone got pics of them? Would greatly appreciate it.

Or if there is a thread already with these pics (I couldn't find any).

Not really sure what lighting you are talking about, do you mean the colored blue or red lights in the foot wells and such?

Yes, he's talking about the footwell lighting.

I was looking at the Sonic Accessories online (link at bottom) and they have a "ambient lighting" package that adds lighting to the interior footwell and allows to change the colors of the lights manually and what not.

Curious to see what this package looks like in the Sonic

$365 for two leds and some wire?? I think that is a rip off if you ask me, you could probably purchase the parts on eBay for under $100 and have 3x as many lights.

Couldn't agree with you more, but I like my warranty and I might be able to sufficiently dumb down that price from my dealer since I recently purchased my RS. I just want to make sure the lighting looks nice.

Putting lights in ur car shouldn't void a warranty. Ive never had an issue generally the dealer guys love the stuff I do to my car, but each dealer I guess is different.

Here ya go... about $20 for two of them shipped.

Controlled by sound
RGB Audio Trigger Stick-Up Lamp | Novelty Lighting | Installation/Power Supplies/Misc | Super Bright LEDs

Or controlled by remote
Submersible RGB LED Accent Light w/Remote | Novelty Lighting | Installation/Power Supplies/Misc | Super Bright LEDs

At least you can test drive the effect before doing something more permanent.

Or just go to pep boys, auto zone, aid auto, etc. I got mine at pep boys for $20. 17 months and 22k miles later they still work. You can check to see how they will look before doing anything. They come hooked up to watch batteries so you can see what they look like before buying.

There are multiple threads on installing the LEDs. Just none for the GM ones that I know of. I didn't even know GM had them.
