3D printed Ford Explorer ST cupholder inserts. During the day these inserts are white and black, come nightfall, they transform into illuminated inserts. The color is changed using the ambient light settings in the car's operating system. No wiring required, the inserts reflect the light from the illuminated rings in the cupholder. Inserts use a locating pin on the bottom to line up with the dimple in the console to prevent the insert from rotating and keeping the correct alignment.
Optional colored outline - This does not affect illumination during night, just adds some flare for daytime.
Note: not all explorer ST's were equipped with the ambient lighting option. Please see the inserts for the non-illuminated ST's if you don't have this option.
