I’d be happy to but it would be tough to capture the intensity difference given my very limited photography skills 
Given how low intensity they are, full
on to completely off is not a huge difference.
I keep them at full intensity and that’s what is shown in the pics.
Sorry I wish I could help more but I’m sure someone better at taking photos may be able to show it

I finally got around to trying this mod. I do have the LED under the passenger seat, but no others. I fired up ForScan and changed all the HEX codes. Nothing on the Sync 3 display for the lighting control. I double checked them, they were correct per what was listed by jonathanjr1 in this post, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post18156769
Per the F150 Forscan sheet and the post above 726-31-01 should be set as follows xxx2 xxxx xxxx. 2 is listed as WF and AMB. I'm not sure what WF may be. I ended up changing the last number in the first HEX series to 0, which is ambient only. The menu then showed in the display and all the colors work.
My truck is a 2017 F250 with Lariat Plus package. Production date 05/11/17.

Update - I purchased these parts from TASCA
Passenger Front LED - FL3Z-14A411-F, $47.68
Driver Front LED - FL3Z-14A318-Q, $32.92
Drivers Seat LED - FL3Z-14A318-N, $28.05
I had previously enabled the ambient light with Forscan.
It took all of 10 minutes to install the LEDs. They work in all colors listed in the ambient lighting menu.
I have no plans on doing the doors or the cup holder. Not doing the doors or console makes this a quick and easy upgrade.

The doors are so easy and prob the best ambient lights.... the cabs prewired right at the connector for it already. If you guys were close I'd help you do them in a few hours.

so am I understanding from your post that the 2019 cupholders don't light up ? im ordering a 2019 lariat ultimate, is there not going to be ambient lighting in it? or is there but it doesn't color change?

Lariat ultimate will have ambient lighting but it’s only ice blue with fixed intensity. The positive is the LED modules are in all the factory locations to include the doors and console.
What has not been determined is exactly how you can convert yours to the earlier version of multi-color and varying intensity. When we added it to our ‘19 Lariat Value trucks, we put in 2017 modules which were from when it was still multi-color from the factory and made the listed code changes.
I don’t know if it’s just code changes, LED module changes, or both. The good news is the LED module swap would be easy since everything is in place whereas in ours the doors require added wiring and panel mods - Mkos1980 did a nice write up above on that part, I skipped doing doors.
Maybe you can be the first ! If you convert yours please let us know what needed to be done - curious minds would like to know and I’m sure you are not the only one who would like the multi-color back

I think it was this one. He might correct me though.
