Rgbled's Ambient Lighting

Are you wanting to expand the Premium Package My Color lighting concept?

I am not exactly sure what Ford is using for their My Color system, but I think it has more to do with manipulating light frequency wavelengths to reflect whatever color you are dialing in or something like that. I wish I knew more.

Working in the automotive lighting industry, I know Ford has interesting work and proprietary items with the folks at Osram-Sylvania. When they work on these items, they don't use any sort of modular approach- Ford makes sure the application is very specific, cannot be interchangeable, and that you just can't swap out an item yourself. It keeps Osram from taking Ford's items and putting them in cars with bow ties or Fiat stamped on them. It's really quite expensive and wasteful to use that kind of approach, but this also allows their dealerships to acquire more money from changing out items on new cars that our grandparents could have repaired on their own within a few minutes on their cars.

You may be able to reverse engineer a gauge cluster (or the little sidesteps that say "Mustang" inside the doors) from a newer Premium Mustang that has been junked and salvage those lighting elements although the cluster may only contain the lighting elements themselves and not the driver module or communication device that tells the lighting elements what wavelength they should oscillate.
