2023 C-class Ambient lighting

Hi, I just purchased a 2023 C-class. It has the ambient light package. But I only have "Direct" and "Indirect" options to change. I do not see the "Accent" option for the vents and center console lights. Are there different packages?? I cant seem to find any info about it, but every video I seen has vents,console,dash, doors,footwells all lit up as well as the vents change with the temp adjust. Mine only has dash, doors and footwells. Am I missing something? Any input would be appreciated.

C300e
I got my C300E with premium package yesterday and have the same issue.
I will try to see with my dealership. However, I noticed that if you go to the website and configure the car, the lights in the air vents are not present, like it happened in our case.
I think they removed it because of a parts shortage or so.
If that is the case, it is really bad from them for such a car with such a price tag.
As soon as I have news I will let you know.

I believe there is an optional enhanced ambient lighting which does the ac vents, etc.

I searched for it, and at least in my country, that option is not available. Even if you select the Premium Plus package, which I believe should include it, the ambient lights in the air vents are missing when you view the car images in the configurator

PS: Checked in the German configuration and it is the same, no lights in the air vents.

i looked around and, yea it looks like you need the "Enhanced ambient lighting" to get the vents and console lights. A little deceiving if you ask me. For the money i paid i would think it should come with it. Sales person never mention anything about what option comes with what package. I should have researched more. I guess thats mercedes for ya.

2023 C Class
They've been having problems finding parts. Apparently the enhanced ambient lighting is not going to be available for production until December 2023 as mentioned on the 2024 order guide.
