Aftermarket Sky Lounge?

fiftytwo · 05-16-2021, 07:34 AM

My 2019 has ambient but not the sky lounge. I'm wondering if anyone has ever installed this or something similar after the fact?

How many times do you look up while driving? Doesn't seem worth it to go through the hassle or expense.

The real effect comes from the etched glass, as it gives the light something to highlight. You could try and replicate it with some clear film with a texture or something. No idea if any connectors are sitting up there for the lighting, or if the roof components are any different.

Would be interested to know. I'm sure it'd give some coloured glow in the front cabin at night, though more for the passengers at the back.

Else... how about taping battery powered fairy lights? Just keep that roof blind open all the time.
