I was kinda bummed when I turned on Ambient Lighting to find the only option was ice blue. Not terrible but Red is so much easier on the eyes at night.

Then I realized that there is no light in the footwells. Is something amiss? If that's how everyone's is, okay it's Ford nickle and diming again and I'm heading over to F150leds.com! But if I should have it in the footwells, I'm gonna look into it while still under warranty. TIA.

I was pissed when I realized it's essentially zone lighting (which is what they now call it in some places) next to the glovebox. I was OK with having no rear vents, no power moonroof, and no manual transmission. I'm not pleased with the with the misrepresentation. I ran wiring for a do-it-yourself ambient lighting effect. Not ideal in a $51,115 MSRP vehicle.

I bought the F150leds.com kit. I really like them. Can make them pretty mute or bright with the remote as you choose.

I got Diode Dynamics kit. under dash for the front and under the front seats for the back. and you can put on party mode with the app, or use a solid colour. I normally have it on the same blue the back lighting is on the buttons and dials. and can set it to solid white.

volume may be loud in the acreen recording I did to get the camera and diode app to show party mode. lol so possible caution.

I installed it in May, last week was first time I used it while waiting to go inside work to clock in, when an old song from the jr/high school dances came on my play list. normally its the solid colour that matches the dash back lighting. or if Im looking for something or up under the dash, I can put it on white

The F150leds.com have a brightness control, you can adjust the levels with the remote.​
