If you would offer a plexi insert for the cup holder and then the lights as a second Item I would be interested. It would require you to cut the cup holder but it would look almost factory.

New '08 GT owner here. Apparently this is an option my car didn't come with. I would be interested in what it would take to add this as well.

Shelby Blue LEDs would be cool. Would match my LED Cobras I'm installing for my washer nozzles & License plate holders...

Ok, so obviously it sounds like color choice is all over the map, so the kits would for the most part need to be assembled on an "as ordered" basis...

That said, I've been playing with LED setups the past few nights in the car, and it looks like a 5 LED unit will work well in the footwell areas, the overhead, but that a 3 light will work well in the cup holder. It also looks like there needs to be a "light" kit and a "full" kit, depending upon how much lighting someone wants to have.

The OEM parts are available at the Ford Accessories website if you want to go with the selectable color option.

Here's the description off the Ford accessory website - I don't think it's the same as the OEM Ambient Lighting though. Thoughts?

Interior Light Kit
Part Number: 8S4Z-13E700-AA
MSRP: $270.00

Interior lighting sets an engaging glow by adding flair, individuality and atmosphere to your vehicle, whenever the mood strikes. Kit includes one LED-generated light in the cupholder area and two light bars in the foot wells. Set your mood by scrolling through your choice of seven color options to create the perfect setting and ambiance for any driving occasion.

Fits:
Ford Mustang2008

It sure seems the same to me. They both have selectable colors and a light in the cupholder and footwells. It may not be, though.

Doesn't sound the same to me. The stock cupholder lighting consists of several LEDs surrounding the cupholder to create a ring of light. Also, the four LEDs in the footwell areas are round and not "light bars."

The light switch is round (not square like in the 2008 pix) and there is no white "band" around the cupholder to light up, only ONE small LED that you drill a hole for.

I am thinking that this is a cheap "imitation" of the actual ambient lighting found on new cars.

Ehh, 270.00 is not cheap by any stretch... no matter if it is a knock off or not.

Heck, I was trying figure out how to price a kit in the 75-150.00 range and thought that it might be too much... maybe I need to rethink this whole thing!! For 270 we can probably make it light up places where the "sun don't shine!"

By cheap I meant a total waste of money! A pale imitation!

By all means, I am eagerly awaiting the SHR version... and the SHR grille inserts... Fiberoptic climate control dials... Arrrrghhh...

LOL - still here... whatever time it is.

Do you have any idea how bored one can get when hand-assembling 900 A/C *****? The fiber-optics don't exactly cooperate at this diameter, so it is an interesting little assembly line we have going on here to do this!!

Understood on the comment now - we'll see what our LED supply guy comes back to us with for secondary options, and me being at SEMA will probably help open a few horizons as well to some pieces that might make for a better complete product.
