Good job. I always hated when you can see the light source and when you can't it's just...classier. Indirect lighting will always win.

 

Thank you, I agree. I don't like the new BMW style where you can see the light pipes everywhere. Merc does it so much better hiding the sources.

Also I agree white works best in Panamera, though overall my favorite is BMW's red-orange. I changed the LEDs in the overhead reading lights in the rear to orange, but it just didn't fit well with the rest of the cabin.

 

Where did you source the LED lights?

 

Cigarette lighter in the glove box. Completely invisible from the cabin, you can't find the wires even if you look for them.

 

Where exactly do you want to mount it? The mounting options change a little depending on where the strip is installed. If to compare modern chinese LED lamps with those made several years ago, these look nicer. It`s unlikely to predict how long they`ll live. I once bought two of these strips and they both lasted a few months, if you don't care about money, you can install these as well. But be prepared for a short lifespan. This`s why I prefer not to buy chinese ones, even though they`re very cheap. I installed strip lights in my car, which are also synchronized with the music. For the car it`s an excellent option.
