Hi all, I thought I would post some details of my ambient lighting upgrade. I found the MG4 interior a bit dull without any ambient lighting, especially at night.
This is the link to the kit I bought on Amazon:
Led ambient lights
It was pretty straight forward to fit the kit as I decided to keep it as simple as possible and go with one on the dash and then 1 above each of the four doors.The cables are completely hidden away by tucking them into the door surround rubbers etc and running them all to the controller which I placed at the back of the centre console. I then powered it by tapping into the rear of the 12v accessory socket in the centre console.
Each of the led strips can be cut to any length you require and they are so thin they can just be pushed into gaps in the interior trim.
They do a cool animation when you power on the car (when you sit in the drivers seat and again when you first put the car in drive) and then revert to whatever colour and brightness you set them to. There is an app for your phone to control them.
I have made a quick video to show what they do when you get in the car.....

Let me know what you think of the results.
