How to Install a Fiber Optic LED Kit in Your Car

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Body

The video explains how to install a fiber optic LED kit to illuminate the interior of your car, with a cost of about $20-$30. The kit includes: a flexible fiber optic cable, an LED strip (or multiple LED modules), a control unit, a cigarette lighter power supply, and a smartphone app (iOS and Android) to manage RGB colors, brightness, and modes. The procedure: locate the gaps or openings in the dashboard where you will insert the fiber optic cable, using a small spatula or brush to fit it in well; one end of the fiber should be connected to the LED control unit, which in turn connects to the power supply. The author recommends installing the fiber first and then connecting the LEDs. The LED modules can also be placed in the trunk or in the doors. The installation takes about 30-60 minutes. The app allows you to choose the color, adjust the brightness, and even sync with music (option not recommended). The author has had the product for about a year and confirms that the LEDs and fibers have not deteriorated. The result is a modern and customizable effect, especially visible at night.
