Hmm, can I get this on my Mariner, JP?

Ford sells an accessory kit for this. We have it in our Fusion (see my sig). Each press the console button changes the colors from red, purple, green, teal, amber, blue, white, or shuts it all off.

The part number is 8S4Z-13E700-AA, and it's around $230.

Cool! Thanks for the info.!

Now all I need is a cappuccino machine installed and I'll be set!! :taz:

 

[jpark]

You don't already have one?

:shock:

 

[Dasha]

It's on my "to do" list. Right above the spinning disco ball.

 

[jpark]

If the cappuccino machine is above the disco ball, won't it shower everyone with cappuccino when it spins?

:hyst:

That women is after my heart! When you get the ball installed I'll drag out my white polyester sport coat! arty:

...and when you do your John Travolta imitation by taking it off and throwing it, it'll probably hit me and spill my drink all over Dasha.

 

[Dasha]

NO spilled drinks in the Dashariner. :box:

I WANT! I WANT!...How hard is it to install, jp?

I don't know. I haven't seen the kit yet, but it would definitely involve removing the center console.

In the Fusion, there's a button shaped just like the 2001-2007 Escape's fog lamp/rear defroster button, which mounts on the forward left side of the console. Four small, round LED projectors mount on the console: two on each front side (to illuminate the front foot wells), and two on the rear side of the console (aimed right and left, to illuminate the rear foot wells). There's also a dual ring that fits around the inner tops of the cup holders to illuminate them (this part is the part that may not fit older Fords or other models, unless the accessory part is different from the factory part).

It's not as bright as aftermarket LED strips and lighting systems, but it does look good at night.

I'll try to grab some pics of it at night. The Fusion is in the early stages of its blue LED conversion.

 

[Dasha]

Yes, yes, on the pics!
