Yeah, I have blue, orange and white. Can change it (and brightness) on the commend system settings

I have black ash with black leather (and white stiching). Looks amazing together - really elegant and the blue lighting adds a very cool look at night.

I have blue set to 4 and seems good - found the 5 too bright.

Totally agree. Missed opportunity. Have still left ambient on blue because I'm coming from a bmw and very done with orange ambient lights (at least for a while)

It's standard in Australia, too. There are many things that we do not get, but we do have the lighting.

Just had a CLA loaner today, and there must be at least a dozen color choices for the ambient lighting, including different shades of green, red,etc. Not sure why the C would not have at least as many, instead of just 3.

But then again, these are first world problems, aren't they? My current 2012 C350 only has one color, orange/amber, and it's perfectly fine...I suspect when I get my C450 I will probably use the same color.

If there is an upgraded leather "Interior Package" that's what has the Ambient Lighting.

after-market ambient lighting

i didn't order my car with ambient lighting (big mistake) and with the black interior and tinted windows it is very dark at night...

so i ordered a roll of 12v rgb led's and controller for $11 from china... i'll add the led's under the dash and under the front seats (front and rear)... and with approx 8 feet of el-wire, i can stripe the doors and the dash too for another $10... not a great solution as i'll have to manually turn them on and select colors (27) and brightness every time i want to use them from a remote control in the center console... but on long trips and driving at nite, it'll be worth it... and a fun spring time project too...

Same, I have a CLA 250 loaner as well while my bumper gets fixed (2016 C300)

And when I was playing around in the interface noticed there are like 20 colors to pick from

Why on earth would they give the CLA more choice and the C300 not?

It depends on where in the 205's development cycle the car was when the latest gizmos became available. 64 color ambient lighting showed up last year in the new E. I'm sure the facelifted S will get it, as well as whatever safety and autonomous driving stuff the E got, and you'll likely see the same in the 205's mid cycle refresh.

lol I think the amber color looks like CLU's color in the movie Tron: Legacy. Heck all the colors look like they are out of that movie!

Hello
Is your car W204 or W205? W205 come into most of market in 2015, it come with an ambient light with tricolor: blue, orange and silver; The color and brightness can be controlled by the Mercedes Command control know, if your W205 does not come with the ambient light, you can add one from aftermarket.
Here's one Mercedes C Class W205 OEM design ambient light for your reference:
Any one interested in it can contact with our staff: sales@gzcarphone.com

We offer 2 options, the center console lights is OEM parts, door lights made by us but also looks like OEM design.
Option 1 lighting effect will be same as OEM one with 3 colors (White, Blue & Orange).
Options 2 is with 12 colors, lighting color is same colors of Mercedes ambient light color series (such as E, GLE, CLS), but lighting way is a little different, it is breathing lighting way, not "fixing lighting", color is changing every time.

Please check below link for installation video for reference (bTW, we also have the 3D rotary tweeter with same ambient light for C Class W205).
