In This videos I show you guys how to Install Ambient light on your BMW X5 e70. This is an upgrade for car that does not have Ambient lights. This is a time consuming install. the Ambient lights where purchase from Amazon. to connect the lights I used an old connection that the car already had. but you can also use the Windows switch to get power for the ambient light
here is the link for the Ambient light:

proud of you son I will bring my Mercedes tomorrow.

[@CarStomIt]

I will see you soon. Lol 😂

[@las1368]

You are the man! Great job with such details. I am doing a vinyl cover of the wood trim and took out those pieces under the center console and could not figure out how to put them back in. You helped me out a great deal. I will be upgrading to the led lights as well. You have convinced me, the look is awesome! Thanks.

[@CarStomIt]

lol I am glad. when I do this type of work, I always try to think of the person who never did any work on a car like that. I also try to think of issues to look out for. so I try to add as much details as possible. Thanks for watching.

Hi. I found your video on yt how you put the ambiente on the x5 e70. Can you tell me how to find such a kit ? Where to look for it ? Thanks a lot for the hint :) @@CarStomIt

[@ericmasson7462]

Excellent mod and very well executed. Respect!

[@CarStomIt]

Thanks a lot I I appreciate it.

[@timmoyo3619]

Thank you for your great work keep it up bro, when you connected the LED cable to the cigarettes lighter you spoke about changing fuse, are you replacing with big fuse or small? Why how does it help ?

[@CarStomIt]

Hey man. the Fuse in the X5 are very sensitive, So any changes in the voltage will pop the fuse. All that I had to do is replace the fuse. that is all.

[@061772ENRIQUE]

Great job hope you live in the U.S.A so you can do my car 2013 BMW X5.

[@CarStomIt]

Yes I do. I do live in the US.

[@annihil8ted993]

Awesome vids! Are these dimmable by any chance or will they be a fixed brightness?

[@CarStomIt]

Those are not dimmable sorry. . They brigightness are fixed.

[@SkateInAskim]

Do you have a video where you did the dashboard ? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@CarStomIt]

I don’t know what happen to it. I must have lost that footages. I can’t seem a to find it. Just ask me anything I can help.

[@adamankidu102]

Is it possible for me to know where you live because I need to change and update my car system and I would like you to do this work for me?

[@CarStomIt]

I would love too. But please emails me at at [e-mail] and we can chat there.

[@ardentvibe6917]

These look awesome in your car after install; however only half of the Amazon reviews for these things are five stars, the rest complain about either not getting half the brightness out of them that everyone else gets, or about them slowly shutting down or only working in small bits after a few months. Have yours worked perfectly over the last ten months?

[@CarStomIt]

It does look good. I install them on one of my friends car. I will check with my friends to see how they have been holding up for the past few months.. I will updated this threads when he answer me.

[@CarStomIt]

Spoke to my friend and he said they still are working and look really. Good. They only thing is that is his car is park in the sun. So there is a little bit of discoloration.

[@zi4169]

That's sick!! Where are you based?

[@CarStomIt]

Thanks a lot. I base in Connecticut.

[@las1368]

Hey I was looking for the video if the front dashboard install. Did you make a video? Can you tell me where you connected the wires for the dashboard ambient lights?

[@CarStomIt]

For this one I used the add a fuse connector and found a connections that come on only when the car is on accessory mode. There is a fuse box on the passenger side so I just found a fuse that is not that important. And used the add a fuse for it.

[@vigankrasniqi1690]

Can u tell me where can I get the bmw x5 e70 ambient light because I just search on Amazon I couldn’t find it plz

[@CarStomIt]

off course sorry I thought that I added it . Here it is. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B093GTXSQM/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_1?ie=UTF8&smid=AGZ0UABIQNJBN&th=1

[@vigankrasniqi1690]

@@CarStomIt very amazing video very helpful can’t wait to do my x5 e70 how many feet did you end up ordering did you get 9 feet for each door

[@CarStomIt]

@@vigankrasniqi1690 Yes I ordered 9 fee for each door and I order a total of 8 but i only used 7. the extra one was a spare. yeah I love the way it looks at night.

[@Edvinas_Bartkus]

Does it hold in place? I mean, does it not loosen over rattling in the car and just come out of those grooves? Great work btw

[@CarStomIt]

@@Edvinas_Bartkus yes man. It does not move.

[@aldwynneedham9720]

What rubbish

[@CarStomIt]

Thank you.

[@fmorelli]

Great videos, truly. One question - on the cigarette lighter - why did you bare the wires? Couldn't you just solder the wire ends on to the back of the two lighter contacts?

[@CarStomIt]

Yes I could have, very true. I just didn’t want to solder so close to the Leeds, just in case I need to remove the cigarette lighter and disconnect it. I would still be able to and not have to disconnect the ambient lights at all.

[@fmorelli]

@@CarStomIt if you were trying to remove the cigarette lighter in the back (which I'm not sure why that would ever happen), isn't the factory harness connected there already and it would be the same issue for that? I guess I don't get the downside of connecting the wires to the same location as the factor harness connects.

[@CarStomIt]

@@fmorelli you are right when I was doing the install. This was my way of rationalize it. I guess you can also connect it that way as well.

[@EnghelbertMussCalderonMe]

How many light strips did you buy to do that? 8 ? I want to buy them to do it on my E70

[@CarStomIt]

I bought 8, just in case I brake one. But I only needed 7 of them.
