Adding Ambient Lighting to 25 MY?

So it looks like some of the ambient lighting is missing from the dash for the refreshed 3 series for 2025. Does anyone know part numbers for these strips, or think it would be possible to add them in the future?

From what I saw, the plastic that refracts the light from the ambient lighting emitters seems to be plastic welded in the the chrome trim on the 2019 - 2022 and 2023 - 2024 models. 2025 doesn’t have that trim anymore on the passenger side. Maybe if you could could separate the plastic from a donor trim and plastic weld it to the 2025 trim it might work (I’m pretty sure that part is not sold separately). I believe that plastic is sold on AliExpress however.

I think the best solution would be retrofitting pre-LCI iDrive8 interior trim itself.

Dash trim is completely different between LCI and pre-LCI - light strips cannot be retrofitted as there are no mounts for them.
