I like the M illumination dash as well. Only downside it that it doesn’t project any light really, it’s just what you see locally.

Overall the ambient lighting is pretty dim in the g42. My X3 is much brighter and projects much more. Maybe its an ID7 versus ID8 thing? Maybe I am just way too into this ambient lighting stuff lately.

I did buy the components to retrofit the door pocket ambient lights and I have them here now. My first shot at the connectors for them was wrong though, and now I have new ones on order. BMW has a bunch of different LED modules. Some of them appear identical other than the color plastic used in the housing. I am thinking that might indicate a different brightness/output but not clear on that yet.
I'm interested in the details on that... I want to retrofit mine as well.
