Ambient Lighting Mod, and Taillight Question

Hey Guys! Recently I noticed on the later R56 cars the ambient lighting has a massive range of colors. My '08 R56 S only goes from blue to orange and in between that. Is there any way I can get the ambient lighting module(s) from the later R56 cars into my early R56 or am I just stuck with the colors blue, orange and what's in between?

Also, my car has a set of smoked taillights that are made in Taiwan, and the upper left brake light bulb never works. On the rare occasion, hitting the taillight makes it stay on (so British). The bulb has been replaced, but it's the contacts that are the issue. Is there any way I can fix the electrical contacts or should I get a set of OEM taillights?
Thanks!

Hello, think we talked about this before and you would have to switch out all the console and lights to the Post LCI as the old ones dont have all the colors. Thats all the info i have, if i find more i will post up, I have seen some DIY ers here for home made stuff: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ighting-3.html



On the tailights, what brand and style are they?
