Same here. Built Dec 2020 and has the lighting.Really strange. Ford must have changed something. My OBX was built in December '20 (Hermosillo) with delivery in January '21 and has ambient lighting in the cupholders.
Well, I took mine apart on Saturday for a quick look, no cut wires on the cup holder and I couldn’t find any extra wire harness around, still will inspect again when my cup holder comes in, because if I have too I’ll try to find out what wire is for the blue lights on the goat mode dial and tap into that wire.Is there a chance that this wiring is present on Big Bends? I'll have a look if no one knows.
I'm pretty sure my BS Outer Banks has Ambient Lighting in the cup holders. Built June 2021.Hi ya’ll I’m new to the forum, but wanted to share a little bit of my BB experience. I got my Cactus Grey Outer Banks on December last year and noticed the cup holder wouldn’t illuminate like in other ford models. I contacted several dealers and all said the cup holder didn’t come with ambient lighting. After removal of cup holder I found wires cut and pre-set for ambient lighting, so I started my research. I ended up finding that the 2020+ Escape cup holder fits which has ambient lighting. Part #LJ6Z-7813562-FA. Now I have the full ambient lighting inside my Outer Banks and if you want to add it here it is! Attached are pics of originally equipped cup holder and the cut wires, part number, and finished product.
The ambient wiring is there on the Outer Banks, the only model that has ambient lighting.It's a bummer that the ambient wiring isn't there for the 2022 models,
Great, I hope my install goes as smoothly. I am just waiting for the new ambient light cup holder to arriveA big thank you to JCampos30 for figuring out the part # for the Escape cup holder and doing the leg work to see if it works. Ordered the part Saturday and it came in today. Took all of 5 minutes to take out the existing cup holders and install the new ones with the ambient lighting. Everything works as it should as far as on/off and dimming.
Are you sure? Mine was built in January and has the wiring.I really wanted to do this with my Outer Banks, but alas, there was no wiring. Mine was built in Feb. 22.
