Question about ambient lighting

hello im a current 05 c230 owner and also a 06 e350 owner and im interested in trading my 05 in for a 08 c350 but i was wondering about the ambient lighting at night in my c just under the mirror lighted up but in my e the mirror the front and rear floor lights up and also all the vents/door handles and also on the roof in the front and rear of the car there are 2 dome lights that only go on at night and glow a dull orange, does the new c have any of these features if someome can post a pic that would even be better

Wouldn't it be just as easy for you to go to a dealer and check it out. Afterall you are talking about trading yours.

The new C-Class has the same ambient light in the bottom of the rear view mirror in addition to lighting in the door pull. That is the only thing I have seen, I thought maybe the footwell would have low light as well (like the E-Class), but it doesn't look like it does.

Yes my footwells do light at night also. Bright when doors are open and then dim when closed. Both driver and passenger (when someone is sitting in seat)

Mirror, door handels and footwells - C350

I'm curious about this as well... because from the pictures, it certainly looks like it has the "outer ring" for the orange glow... (and no, I'm not talking about the cleaner solution)....

Anyone?

Yeah that's what I thought as well, but sadly, no ambient lighting from the dome lights.
