someone whos willing to take their console/glove box apart and put in the lighted cup holders and a harness. you must have ambient lighting for the cup holders to work. IDK all the ST packages so maybe some dont have it?

I have a 2020 with Lighted cup holders already, wouldn't be any help. I seem to have one of the model years before the deleting starting happening.

I have a new 25' and I believe the cupholder ambient lighting has been omitted. Would your plan work on a 25'?

Can you take a picture looking straight down at the cup holders? Did you come from a 21-24 model? if so are the cup holders the same? I dont have parts access to verify it.

While you’re at it, how about a glove box light?

Looking at the pictures I can find online they are definitely different.

you would need to unbolt the console and slide it back, remove and replace the cup holder with the lighted version and install a harness to make them work. very similar for the glove box light.

I think I'm missing something here, I haven't seen where it is stated what it is you are offering to bring to the table? Are you providing a wiring harness for others to install?

Yes I make the harnesses to make this all connect. I was trying not to blatantly say that cause I don’t wanna get banned for advertising sorry.

You won't get banned if you're giving them away. Now if you're selling... and you probably should make that known from the get-go. You can always ask for the owner of the forum's blessing.

The person working with me will get a free harness, after I figure out proper length and can get a write up from whoever I work with then I would offer them for sale. How do I find the owner of the forum?

@STFan would be your guy. That said, compensating a person with a product or paying for a review is the same as creating a Shill. I mean no offense, but the approach here is akin to SPAM and feels a little like entering through the side door. I do not know the process of becoming a Vendor on this site, but I'll bet it's pretty easy. Please forgive me if that comes across a little harsh. This thread just seems a little odd from the start.
