My primary goal was to achieve Blue/Red Ambient Lighting combination on my 2022 LCI and these instructions are specifically for that end result.

Thanks to these posts for pointing me in the right direction:

From what I can tell, the basic principals are the same between all the newer platforms. There are 2 areas in Expert Mode where changes are made:

BDC_BODY3 ECU
Select 360A/LIC_LCI_COLOR_LIBRARY_DATA
Select 360D/LIC_LCI_COLOR_PROFILES_DATA

1. Library is where you change the stock colors of ambient lighting. The byte locations of the colors vary between the platforms. Basic Mode already has the ability to recode Bronze to one of their pre-set colors and luckily Red is one of them. In Basic Mode, there are 2 settings for ambient lighting color but you can't code combinations. For good measure, I set both of these to Red (oddly, will accept the same values just not different values).

Update: X4 instructions thanks to gramboda

2. Profiles is where you change the ambient lighting combo idrive selections. Every 2 bytes corresponds to the idrive menu selection; the 1st byte is the bottom choice, 2nd byte is the top choice[List][*]Byte 0 - Bronze/Bronze (bottom)[*]Byte 1 - Bronze/Bronze (top)[*]Byte 2 - White/Bronze (bottom)[*]Byte 3 - [...]
Did this alter or affect the stock orange colored dash/ac lighting? I saw an older post that had those match the red blue combo or ambient lighting...
