Best Ambient light kit - Installation on my BMW E91 - E90 E91 E92 DIY

Greetings everyone, in this video, I would like to introduce you to an exceptional ambient lighting kit that I came across, which I believe will be an excellent addition to your car. Today, we will be installing this kit on our 2006 BMW E91 330d. I have previously reviewed and installed two different kits, but this one is by far the most exceptional!
Now, let's talk about the most noticeable differences between this kit and others that I have used in the past. Firstly, it has an OEM look, which means it blends in perfectly with your car's interior. Secondly, it comes with a slimmer fiber optic cable and fully integrated LEDs, which means that you no longer have to deal with one bulb powering fiber optic. Thirdly, it is five times brighter, making it the perfect choice for those who prefer brighter lighting. Fourthly, it is fully RGB, which can be controlled through a remote or an app. Additionally, this kit comes with footwell lights, door handles, and glovebox lights. Lastly, there are no hotspots to worry about.
With all that being said, let's get started on the installation process.
here the link where u can buy these kits:

Just got a set for my e90, going to install later!!. I would normally find a cheaper alternative but ive seen first hand how bad cheap ones are. This video sold me since its the same car as mine and i can see the final result. Thanks again!

Hab das beim E60 auch gemacht vorne in den Türen kann man Plus vom Lautsprecher nehmen. Dann leuchten die sobald Zündung an ist und nicht nur wenn die Lichter eingeschaltet sind. Hinten musste ich Strom von der vorderen Sitzverstellung nehmen unter den Teppich verlegen, entlang der B-Säule und dann durch die Tür. Trotzdem habt ihr sehr saubere Arbeit geleistet. Hammer Ergebnis. Sollte keine Kritik sein nur halt ein Tipp vielleicht fürs nächste Mal

[@garage.86]

ah cool wusste nicht das man die Stromversorgung auch vom Lautsprecher nehmen kann :) Danke !

[@AshwinLB]

I think it would have looked a little better if you put the door handle lights on the bottom-side so the handle would cover the dot, but otherwise nice work!

[@garage.86]

yeah i wasnt sure where to put it , Thanks ! :)

[@emalior5000]

Door handle light should be mounted at the very top facing down so the source is not visible, you have mounted it on the vertical panel facing inwards towards the occupants. I'm not sure if the suggested way is possible on this bmw but that's where oem lights are installed, very top facing down and thats where I would try to install it.

[@garage.86]

Can you make gradients without animations? Wondering because I dont care about the animations, just thinking if I should save 30 bucks and get the one with solid colors only. But gradinets that dont move would be cool.

No unfortunately not u cant even set two static colors the app isn't really good

Where did you power the host box? I used the window cables to power the assist boxes but I don’t know where to power the host box.

Check with an multimeter in the fusebox the empty spots if there is anything wheres only power when ignition is turned on then u can take power from there
