2016 Equipment questions

Hello,
Just bought a 2016 Excursion Conversion. it is based on an F250 Platinum.


I am surprised at a few missing items that I would have thought would have been on the truck that is not and am looking for some items that aren't stock but want to add


First, very surprised there is no glove box lighting. Is there a retrofit kit I can buy that anyone is aware of ?


Also no footwell / ambient lighting, I know there is a factory kit for the F150 but I cannot find one for the F250


I am also looking for front parking sensors, someone mentioned a factory kit but I have not located it as of yet


On the F150 and other fords you can also get lighting under the mirrors that light up when you open the door, have not found factory or aftermarket kit. it leaves a very dark area around the truck


one item I did find on accident is a company called Brandmotion that does have a 360 view camera set up and you can also get there blind spot assist with it, 4 wheel parts carries it and they will do the install. bought one today and will have installed next week, if anyone is interested I will let you know


When I saw a picture of the dash are on this finally I noticed there were not upfitter switches in the vehicle so I complained as I had never seen a platinum without them! They put the switches in but they are not wired in, does anyone know if all the trucks cam with a plug in the harness to add the power or is this going to be a major issue to get them powered


Last, this has captains chairs in the second row, I would like to try to put the non flow threw type front console between the second row seats. Has anyone tried this? Another answer is I heard there were some platinum or special edition trucks that may have had rear consoles, again any help would be much appreciated


All please feel free to send me our advice


Thanks
Berndude
