Ambient cup holder lighting?

[b4crimes]

I found this forum post from the Bronco Sport forum,

https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/cup-holder-ambient-lighting.5647/

it talks about how you can switch out to escape cup holders with ambient lighting in the outer banks models because there is a plug in the center console. I wonder if this would be possible on a lariat maverick with ambient lighting. This would be a cool $30 mod.

I would love to know if this works for our Mavericks!

The space between the holders (for handles) is different.

The escape/bronco have a rounded space, while the mav's is straight.

damn, I wasnt driving my truck today so I did not even know the cup holders were different.

candidly, I really like the console of the bronco over the maverick. The look is definitely a step up. I wonder if it's possible to swap out the entire console.

you could simply run some small ambient less into the cupholders and wire them to any light source of your choosing. we did this in our Subarus all the time

Coming from being a VW enthusiast, love doing OEM style swaps but you're not wrong on wiring something up.

If you're not driving your truck I would gladly do that for you!

So, the Lincoln Corsair cup holders height work. Ambient lights and the straight connection between the holders.

Cool! Have you tried this out? I would love to do this.

No, not yet. I'm in the middle of playing with Forscan changes. Maybe sometime in the future.

Side note... I've had my truck for 2 weeks now and really, really like it. At the same time, I test drove a bronco sport while I waited for my truck to show up. The finish quality on the Broncos was a huge step up from the Maverick. It made me a little envious of what was available out there for similar cost...

Since the Escape, Bronco Sport, and Corsair all use the same platform and architecture, it's got me thinking about how much of these vehicles are really swappable.

Instead of just the cupholders, could I swap out the entire center console from one vehicle to another? I may lose the FITS connection (which I haven't used b/c my dealership doesn't have my kit yet), but I might gain ambient cupholders and air vents for the back seat. Each one has it's own benefits of course and I don't know if I'll ever take it that far, but that's just how my mind works.

Old thread, but I wanted to post what I have researched because I was considering this mod. The Maverick cupholder part # LJ8Z5813562AA is shared with the Bronco and Mach e. On the bronco forum, this thread goes into how to swap in a lighted cupholder assembly from the Lincoln Corsair. This part # LJ7Z-7813562-BA differs from the one posted earlier in this thread but looks the same from installed pics and is from a Lincoln Corsair. The OP in the Bronco forum thread noted that this isn't a drop in replacement and some modifications involved.

The part I'm stuck at without ordering the part is that the maverick lariat has Ford "ice blue" ambient lighting whereas the Lincoln Corsair lighted cupholder is RGB lighting. I'm unsure if you can hardwire it a certain way to produce "ice blue".

Anyone have any suggestions?

Edit: part # LJ7Z-7813562-BA does not include the leds mentioned in the bronco thread.
