Ambient lighting mk3 focus

[ROakley]

Hello all, I have a 2015 Mk3 focus titanium with ambient lighting that is red.

 

i wanted to change this to blue so bought some LED 501 bulbs on eBay that fit the boot fine. Went to the footwell assuming these are the same and have an LED on a small board.

 

Anyone know how to change these to blue?

 

thank you!

They are SMD LEDs, you'd have to re-solder a different colour, if you could work out the spec.

[ROakley]

Can you not replace them? I can’t seem to find a fitting anywhere

[alexp999]

The LED is soldered directly to the pcb that the cable clips in to.

[ROakley]

Can you not replace the pcb with a different coloured board or splice it to a new plug and bulb?

why dont u just press the button on the ceiling panel to change em to red. u can change to about 4 or 5 colours inc red

I am not sure all Titanium have variable colour and brightness - i thought that was TitaniumX (or extra option) only?

Yep, that's correct.  Colour changing is only standard on the Titanium X.  Red only on the Titanium.

On my 3.5 the wiring is there and the pins are present but no PCB. It’s a 3 pin setup, does anyone know what the 3 wires are, why are there 3? If I knew what the wires were then I would splice into them and fashion my own setup

They might be R G B, but usually this would have 4 wires, Red, Green, Blue and earth,  so its more likely power, signal and ground, signal being control line to set a colour using canbus or similar?
