No, but footwell lights would be very very nice.  Surprised they don't have them.  Interior lighting is the one mark they missed in my book.

I would love to add this lighting, how did you do it? Did you connect them to work with the doors (off when shut, on when open)?

Hate to revive a semi old thread but just curious if anyone came up with a solution to the TERRIBLE interior lighting? Even when all lights are on it is very hard to see anything around the centre console area. The lights seem to point towards the driver/passenger seat but nothing shines down the middle making it very hard to see anything. Cant believe they missed the mark on this.

Bought some 3 light led strips and wired them into the 3rd wire (gray) of the white colored plug under the dash closest to the driver’s seat. Works great.

This is just for the footwell correct? 

Im referring to the terrible LED's where the sunroof controls would be. Doesnt even light up the cupholders if i'm fumbling trying to find something

In the RST, along with the two passenger lights the roof console contains a recessed high intensity LED pointing straight down lighting the floor console storage area; the arm rest console bin also contains LED lighting that illuminates when you lift the lid.

I was wrong about no LED down the middle.. the one down the middle is freaking tiny though and provides almost no light..

I'm looking to give this a shot. Can you provide the link to the lights you purchased?

 

Thanks

Was thinking of LED interior lighting change/upgrade (*blue or red*), surprised nobody has done this to the new body style interior! If anyone has, and can let us know where to buy from that would be great!! :)

Doable if you want to add additional lighting and connect to the stock lights.

the factory interior lights are SMD LEDs soldered onto the circuit boards inside the upper consoles. anything can be done with enough skill and money, but for all practical purposes they are not replaceable.

I added some bolt style LED lights to my upper console to supplement the factory lighting in addition to adding floor lighting. the interior is much brighter now!

one nice thing about the factory interior lights at night when you open the door the light actually shines out the open door and illuminates the ground outside (somewhat at least) but its totally inadequate to actually light up the interior.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By TheRiver · Posted

      IMNTBHO;  the worst thing for the 6L80 is to be lugged down to low engine rpm while in high gear......AKA, to save fuel.   I rarely use D on my '16 with the 6L80 and use M mode to keep engine RPM above 1500 at the speed I'm driving, which is also benefiticial for the tranny because line pressure is kept up because the pump is actually turning a decent speed, and it's not always hunting to drop to the next gear to lower the engine RPM's.   Never above 30mph.............M3, maybe M4 if just driving thru a small NoDak town Never above 40mph............M4 Never above 50-55mph.............M5   This is way better for the tranny and the engine.........especially if AFM is still active.   262K miles on my OEM 6L80 as I type this.

      If they had nuclear material for "11 nukes" we'd have seized it.    Our military has been rendered either too weak/dumb to seize it, or they don't have it. Your pick,K-nut. Because right now we're fighting over who gets to toll oil tankers in the strait.    I hope you're man enough to admit you've been taken for a ride when it's finished.

      And you're obviously full of it too.  Apparently anything he does is perfect to you.  Don't you think this whole ordeal would have been better if he had maybe thought it all through first before bombing Iran at the request of his bffs in Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar?  They are the ones that had the biggest issue with Iran.  Thus they have been pouring the platitudes and giving gifts/bribes to him.  Had he thought about the consequences of what would happen to the Strait before starting anything, we wouldn't have this issue.  Now he is stuck with no way out of this mess.  But you have your head stuck way deep in his rabbit hole to see anything else.  So no, I don't have TDS.  I see what he is.  The derangement is yours from no oxygen in the rabbit hole.

      Bringing of the fact that every President has said the same thing. They can’t have nukes. I guess you missed that before epic fury they said they had enough product for 11 nukes and weren’t giving it up. That not political or polarizing. The opposition of that is and giving aid to the enemy. The mandate is decades old through many administrations. The difference is TDS.
