What happens when you install an EBay ambient light kit

[@chrisb8870]

Thanks for a real review instead of all the videos that make it seem perfect

[@chickens366]

Thank you for making this video!! I can’t tell you how many times I was considering buying that exact kit but nobody had video reviews on them.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

It’s okay if you can hide the optic tube and only have the glow of the light shine along your trim...but even the glow of the light is not that strong.

[@W204-o2h]

I still like this video. Anything you put out I like lol.

[@divinemotorsport]

I would recommend taking high grit sandpaper to the fiber optic line and making it look cloudy. Might have the same issue but worth a shot

[@djshumon]

Cloudy.(defusse)

[@staiifresh502]

Thank you for this honest review

[@volvman9856]

for better effect and brightness, you should attach the luminous tips on both ends

[@just_observing8248]

I was wondering if I should do that when okay get home. Makes sense ty

[@BennyHolst.23]

Flexx you are really good at installing things in the car ...😃

[@TheBarking2]

We live and learn, believe me I know how you feel. But I’m positive you’re get it done right. Especially for wifey. I’ll be waiting in the background for the next vid. ONE!

[@mrgcc]

I installed an eBay kit on my car and I think the main thing you have to be careful of is just not pressing the tube in too harshly in points. I guess each kit will be different but just wanted to say my kit wasn't anything like this.

[@zaczuniga]

could you link me the kit that you bought?

[@Hasser3000]

And me 😂

[@AlejandroNuno23]

What app do you use?

[@tylercouture216]

Which kit

[@TheHuiwen]

that really sucks. thanks for the review

[@richardscustomfixcustomize5974]

Pls I have a question what app did you use for the ebey interior lighting so that I don’t have to use the remote

[@DerHerrY]

If the next Ambient light is good, i buy one 🔥🔥

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I’m pretty sure it will be good. I have it. Just need to install and shoot the video. (Installing is easy. Shooting the video is a pain in the butt)

[@angelociprian1322]

I think that's happening because the optic fiber isn't exactly fit in that tube and in point where the fiber touch the tube si more lightly, and where is a higher distance between tube and fiber is more darker. And... the fiber is going up and down in that tube, isn't perfectly straight, and it's looks ugly. I think that El wire is a better option, but you lose the multitude of colors

[@advanced4945]

great video awesome whip!

[@TheStoneWhisperer]

Damn...too bad I can't find the video you made after this one with the actual ambient light kit that was worth buying. Can you provide that link? Does the manufacturer do ambient light kits for other cars besides Mercedes? Thanks!

[@mitchio83]

The good one he got is from dmp car design.

[@ericastorga5773]

i bought same kit for my audi, and it works awesome! i just wish i had an app to control it

[@matejaradojevic1381]

For what audi? I wanna buy one for mine. Can you send me pics on email:[e-mail] or dm me on Instagram __radojevicc__

[@martinwilliams9098]

Where did you get the door speaker covers ?

[@SUB-Entertainment]

One thing I noticed is it is not that kind of fail that you pointed out. When you keep the illumination level low it looks good. I am not a fan of too much and too bright illumination. I have GLA 2021 with Mercedes factory ambient lighting and if you keep it to a low illumination level it looks as good as MB. I bought them for my other car Lexus and they look great. Now I will buy for my GLE.

[@joaopereira1935]

Do you think you can see the details? such as the door handle or the electric window buttons?

[@dinkwoodham80]

How do you Splice the lights like if you wanna put some on each door but need to add more to the connectors how do you cut to make them fit in the light connector

[@rowwiddit7096]

I bought a similar kit but it didn’t come wither screw or hole that tightens the tube to the light

[@greggregorich8048]

so after watching this video i decided to buy newest Mercedes Benz with rgb lights in it which is 2019 A class its a same as C class good luck!

[@youandiryan]

I noticed with anything to do with interior LED lighting it is better to go expensive. The expensive ones will look like the Mercedes lights. The cheap ones will die quickly and won't have that look that the new Benz's have. But the good kits are really expensive. Like holy crap.

[@nicolegervacio4169]

And how u know which one are the expensive?

[@musicanoofficial7233]

@@nicolegervacio4169 XK GLOW Optic Fiber LED

[@gregcy89]

Very proper review man. They all show that these strips are perfect but they are crap. Im trying to find some high quality led strips for my Jag. I cant understand which new Benzes are using. Im curious

[@TheFlexxGarage]

The new benzes are using an OEM-like kit for their cars. It's not universal. I installed an aftermarket version on my 2016 C300 here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKureoGJqKl1ntE

[@bryanttrahan1852]

Ya it has a glow tube effect when you crack it to light up. I tried it before but hated it. Glad im not only one

[@p1maxautodetailing878]

Hi, can you send a link to this ??

[@jaqualiawatts2204]

Hi What did you do to make the led lights come on whenever you urn your car key switch? I am trying to figure this out with my Chrysler Aspen please help

[@vivekshah1247]

You have to wire the power supply directly into the fuse board of your car (research this according to your car) watch a video on how to wire to the fuse board. If not then get a cigarette port adapter and when you start the car they’ll come on

[@kbgaming6012]

or if it doesn't pull too much power you can piggyback off a cigarette lighter, and it will come on when the ignition is on

[@nozahyoublockqork2690]

are these a special amount of volts or watts when installing?

[@antonisxatzakis7702]

Not higher than 12 volts

[@miraclejayyy9457]

What’s a good alternative?

[@philhtx4103]

Please do an update video 👍 also have you seen the star ceiling kits ? Some look dope but definitely seems like a challenge I’m thinking about it myself 🤔

[@TheFlexxGarage]

go follow me on facebook or instagram. I have a sneak peak video of the new kit that's ready to go on. As for the star light kit...I'm not interested. That's pushing it. Ambient light kit is good but starlight is just straight up belongs only on a rollsroyce.

[@haidarscheik8162]

thats it from now on if i buy something like this ima spring for the expensive options

[@Djsatile]

Should have done amazon

[@indritbarbullushi5692]

In app LED LAMP as set on off time ???

[@knmoverload]

Hey flexx wanna give us the link for the new kit you use? This way I can get it before your video and get installed as soon as your vid drops!!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Nahh. I have to install it and make sure it’s 100% good. No point in giving links to a product and find out it doesn’t fit or works right. I rather be the test rabbit so you guys don’t waste money.

[@mathusstudio5087]

What battery you got for test ambient lighting

[@TheFlexxGarage]

You can use a 9volt battery.

[@tnamen1307]

@@TheFlexxGarage what's the lifetime?? Is it worth installing?

[@jerroldbrowning3223]

Where is the link to the better kit?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Go watch my latest video then

[@dreknows]

Tried explaining this to my brother but he like it's so the same thing I'm like in its not because your missing light on your door and bottom thing

[@700M-l3c]

I bought mine today and it did the same thing and it happened because i installed it very poorly and damaged it so be careful when you install it it not the products fault

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Lol. Yea it is the products fault. It’s crap quality. I did another video with a better kit (very similar style) and the optic tube is waaaaay better and doesn’t crack as easy.

[@tarunk15]

Will you be sharing a link for a high quality light and a video installing it.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Go watch my other video

[@LegendGaming-fp7xi]

Brother what do U expected from 30 40 dollars lights Its never going to look same as the original mercedes bmw audi interior Lightning those car brands put time and detailing and much more expensive stuff to the car thats why they cost so much but its worth it tho love the german car group brands even tho did not mention opel vw etc but like i said its 30 40 $ Aint going to look same as a original merc interior but still love it as a bmw fan always bmw for me :D

[@Superstar1212ism]

You would be surprised that the ones in the BMW and Mercedes are even cheaper then Ebay but they'll sell it to you for 10x the mark up...

[@ofri6309]

Thanks for the movie. So what's the solution you recommend?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHWmiGdmf8t4etU

[@luism3389]

Just curious, where did you end up tapping for power? Or did you use a battery or independent power source? Thnx for the review by the way.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Bro...it's clearly in the video. Did you not see me take apart the center to get to the cigarette lighter...lol...same tap location like the dynamic side mirror start up lights.

[@dcsrt1300]

Damn shame, you got good hands and know electronics though you should have put a system in it, I wouldn't sweat it doesn't look that bad. Jmo

[@just_observing8248]

Lol right I put a system in my and abt to install these lights. I thought they looked fine too

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

thanks for this man.. maybe if you couldnt directly see the tubes instead maybe have the light emitting from behind panels.. i wonder.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

They don’t shine bright enough.

[@elta5522]

I want see it next time *_*

[@dimitrijestojkovic6155]

Link ambient light kit plss?

I’m not linking the crappy eBay one in the video. Go watch my other video on the better version. There’s links in the description of that video.

[@mlp3journey61]

It reminds me of the 4th of July lights that you bend for the lights to come on

[@deez130]

Usually fibre optic is used for roofs I thought to make it look like stars

[@kertiszman]

Damn! I just ordered some because when I saw oracle price at $75 I thought was too expensive.

[@trapkid7346]

One thing I learned is don’t got cheap when doing mods ! Cheap = problems and you spent more money at the end

[@Ali-uv3dz]

thanks for info.

[@robpracht9303]

Its all crap..i put them in( the ones with that little 5 volt black box..in the summer the sun.made the orange strip turn to like white..sunburn..and then one dday smoke from under my dash..panic...found out the little black 5 volt boxes go up in smoke after a while..no flames but disqusting burned plastic and electric component smel..

[@alexfernandez7529]

If it doesn't work you you might have to buy her the new benz that has the fiber optic lights.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

You never know....

[@bionicftmprosthetics375]

Use EL wire instead

[@GeneralDravus00]

Encountered the same problem

[@BigPoppa-t3z]

In a Benz get a good system. In mine I had an oracle light system installed. WiFi router in the car also I have a remote excellent.

[@jlove24]

How did you get the WiFi router installed? Which brand I really want to do this

[@The_McD]

Is there anything you can’t do? Wow

[@The_McD]

As soon as heard eBay I knew why it failed. Lot of low quality stuff on there. Look forward to the next video.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I have to disagree. There’s tons of parts on my car that’s from eBay. Just like any selling platform, once in awhile you’ll run into crappy parts but I have no hate on eBay and I’ll continue shopping there.
