Hi all,
I am trying to add oem-like upgrades to the Maverick and I came across this thread where someone was referencing a Bronco Sport thread about adding ambient lighting to the cupholder. Old thread, but I dug a bit and found that the regular Bronco forum (this thread), someone had swapped in ambient lighting from a Lincoln Corsair and was able to get it to fit. The Maverick cupholder part # LJ8Z5813562AA is shared with the Bronco and Mach e. The Bronco oem ambient lighting is multicolor, so I needed to find the Ford "ice blue" LED lights to swap in for the original multicolor that would fit in the cup holder. Part # LJ7Z-7813562-BA is from a Lincoln Corsair and does not include the LEDs. This was fine because I needed the Ford "ice blue" ones. I ordered the Bronco Sport cupholder assembly part # LJ6Z-7813562-FA that included the "ice blue" LEDs that match the Maverick lighting. I removed the LEDs and put them on the Corsair cup holder. I was able to fit this assembly into the Maverick after a lot of modification to the cup holder, and the mounting studs on the center console. Not a perfect fit, but if you look too close you might as consider other build quality issues from the factory. I made splitter harnesses from standard JST connectors to get away from the Ford oem connecter due to cost and availability. I took power from the passenger footwell ambient light, which is accessible by removing the glove box. Anyway some pics for reference and the cup holder lighting matches perfectly. Will plan to add more ambient light behind the front seats and maybe in rear door handles.
Parts needed:
# LJ7Z-7813562-BA Lincoln Corsair Cup Holder Assembly
# LJ6Z-7813562-FA Bronco Sport Cup Holder Assembly
Bronco Sport Cup Holder
Side by Side Comparison of Maverick (Left) and Corsair (Right) Cup Holder Assemblies. Note the Corsair cup holder is slightly angled but not noticeable once installed.
Passenger Footwell Ambient Light Tapped for Power
Corsair Cup Holder with Bronco Sport LED wiring harness
Testing electrical - works!
Modifying the center console. Need to remove the alignment grooves on the cupholder perimeter.
Cup Holder installed in center console
Final outcome
