64 ambient light brightness

Hi guys

Do you find brightness of the lights not very intense?

I have mine in 5 and still some colors do not look very bright...

Cheers!

I'm not sure I want them to be bright. It's ambient lighting, but yes anything less than 4 or 5 kinda makes them disappear. I think it also has to do with contrast and color scheme of the interior. Out of the 64 I really only like the default AMG Blue (32). I've tried all the others, but they just don't look right next to the color scheme of the digital dash and they don't pop with the black interior. I tried yellow/orange tones since I have the yellow accents and stitching and yellow is the dominant color when using the Sport or Supersport layout, but then it just kinda becomes all bland. Going into the red feels like I'm driving a candy or red light district mobile. The default blue seems to suit it best as an accent color at least with a dominantly black interior. I guess it varies based on what color one's interior is.

Brightness is likely the same but your eyes respond different to different colors. Normal.

Yes, 32 blue look also the more bright color. I sometimes use red and pink as well

You maybe right, much more brightness would be uncomfortable somehow?

Thanks Swiss
