Hello :) I had seen an ambient lighting thread the other day that I can't seem to find anymore; but in an effort to not make a new thread, I will comment here :)

I decided to tap into the one lonely ambient light the XL has. This whole panel pulls straight backwards towards the cup holders (no need to pop out the usb plugs or the cig lighter outlet). The ambient light harness has 3 wires. black/blue is ground, red/green is vpower (12v) and yellow/blue controls the dimming. I opted to tap into the red/green wire, so my ambient lights are not controlled by the touch screen but are on anytime there's ignition power - they turn on upon unlocking, and turn off when the vehicle is locked, or timed-out after exiting and closing all the doors. They turn on when a door is opened, and stay on while the vehicle is on or running.

I have the Lariot 1st edition with ambient lighting. When I googled it to see what colors it would come with the only thing that popped up was Fords F150 ambient with 5 colors. When I got the truck it only came with one color (blue) in order to see it I had to turn it up all the way. Very dissapointing

Anyone tried enabling other colors in forscan? It shows the options but I didn't attempt it. I suspect the LEDs used are blue exclusive.
