SEL change interior lighting (ambient)

[BlackSEL]

Just wondering if my 2008 SEL has the ambient lighting.. it does have the theatre lights, is that the same thing?

 

I'd like to change the colors, maybe go for a blue. Can I just change the bulbs, put in the blue tinted ones?

Ambient lighting is an option. I believe it offers all 3 colors as installed.

It's a $295.00 option on 2008 SEL's and will be STD on 2009 SEL's. It gives you 7 color options and OFF setting.

I'm not sure what you mean by theatre lights...? But if you have the ambient lighting, you will have a little button near the gear shifter that you can use to change the colours. Blue's definitely one of the colours.

I've uploaded a couple of pics I must have saved to my hard drive a while back while I was still waiting for my car to arrive. You can see the switch to the left of the gear selector, and just in front of the e-brake handle. If you've got that button, you've got ambient lighting.

 

Cheers!

 

EDIT: the second picture also shows one of the ambient lighting lights in the driver's-side footwell.

if you don't have ambient lighting and you want to add it there is a kit available from ford accessories. Part Number: 8S4Z-13E700-AA runs about $240 according to the website ford-parts-direct.com i looked at the install instructions, looks fairly easy to install if your not scared to tap into wiring.
