Engine Bay Lighting Install?

I ordered my 2023 Z51with just about everything but the Mag ride and I wondering if anybody has done an "after delivery" install of the engine bay lighting for the C-8 coupe?
Seemed cool but not worth $900.
Cheers

I purchased the factory lights and harness assembly (~$170.00) and retrofitted them into my Coupe. The installation was not technically challenging taking approximately 3 hrs.

Yep same. Not a hard install per se, just one you might want to take your time with. Only part that might give you pause is pulling the interior panels out (mine were a bear to wrestle free - thought I was going to break something!). Also masking tape around the rear-view camera to spare the paint. If you pull the panels of the interior, top and driver side, and follow the harness, it's pretty easy to trace where the stock harness goes and how to get at it for removal.

Thanks, not sure I'm ready to remove door panels for the lighting effect.
Appreciate the input.
Now if I can just get my car........
