Photos for comparison to the stock Harman Kardan speakers and the new Bowers and Wilkins speakers. Noticeable difference in sound as well. A more refined studio quality sound when comparing the two.

Wow those are awesome. Do you have a link you can provide of where you purchased them?

I have the HiFi system so not sure I could make something like this work.

Is this the OEM system that you retrofitted? Did you do only the fronts or all the speakers? What about the amp, etc. did you change as well?

i bought the bowers and wilking door speakers used ( from a parted out car) from ebay for about $100 each. I Bought the ambient light kit from AliExpress. Install was easy and not complicated. It just taps into your existing ambient lights. The stock Harman Kardan speakers were black and will show no ambient light. The BW Speakers are a MUST... Link to ambient light kit below.
Apparently the seller no longer sells the front door ambient lights separately. Seems they sell it in this package. Im sure if u ask them they will sell you just the ambient door light rings and wire harness separately...

just changed the door speakers from Harman Kardan to Bowers Wilkins because they reflect light and sound better.
