[QUOTE="charles06, post: 788172, member: 9920"] I added the cupholder lighting on my 2013 Raptor. Here's what you need to do. 1. Find a VIN from a Platinum or Limited that HAS the ambient light option. 2. Using that VIN, order a complete, upper console trim, including the cupholders with lights. Unfortunately, you cannot order just the cupholders with LED's. So now I have an extra, wooden console with switches sitting in my garage. 3. Separate the plexi part that surrounds the cupholders as well as the LED's from the ordered console. 4. Select the correct wires within the RGB wiring to match the factory interior light color, then either hardwire them into the gearbox lighting, or to a switch. I chose the gearbox lighting route for cleanliness. 5. There is a bit of "work" to get the new pieces of the cupholder to fit with the original Raptor console, but nothing major. If you're undertaking this project yourself, I assume you'll be fine here. My cupholder LED's are on whenever the interior (dash) lights are on. One thing to note is that they are fairly bright. They actually light up the lower part of the dash, and take some getting used to. I may have my shop dim them down the road. If you don't mind having a switch, I'd suggest going that route. Also, please don't ask for pictures. They look like stock cupholders with LED lights from any other factory set up. Hope this helps. Charles [/QUOTE]
