2017 AMG C63S Coupe
2017 C300 coupe on dealer lot w/ "ambient lighting credit" on sticker

What is this all about? Was there some production issue not getting ambient lighting added to some of the first builds? The line item on the window sticker had a credit of about $300 or so (can't remember exactly). First I've heard or seen of this. Any insight? I'm hoping my 2017 C63S coupe for mid Sept. production doesn't have any such issues.

**BTW, posting here since there is little to no activity on the C205 coupe forum**

I saw this too when I was shopping around. Previous production build dates of July 2016 and before some did not have ambient light installed even though they have P2, so just keep an eye out. It's unfortunate but is what it is.

i had a c43 coupe on order which only had premium 1 and it STILL had ambient lighting standard.

switched my order to a sedan, but i know earlier all C43s were getting ambient lighting standard even though the order sheet says its only in P2
