Ambient lighting

Not sure if I don’t have it because of part shortage or the performance seat package, but isn’t the ambient lighting supposed to continue to the rear seat headrests? I can feel something in the opening that could be the led housing but mine are completely dark.

Check the options in the computer to see if everything is turned on. If it is on... then you may have had the lights removed due to parts shortages.

I’ll take another look at the settings. The way these were assembled during this shortage is crazy. I was asking someone if they had the puddle lights under the mirror that the regular CLA has. They didn’t, mine does. It seems like they just fit whatever’s available in the parts bin.

Are you saying when you unlock your car a light shines down from the mirrors? Or are you talking about the light that shines on the ground when you open the door?

Yes I have leds on the underside of the mirror that light up when the doors are unlocked and under mirrors unfold.

Weird... I don't have that. Was wondering about puddle lights... wonder if I can add it to my car.

do you have an opening on the underside blocked off? I think it would be easy if the wiring is already there.

When you open the door... do you see the Mercedes or AMG logo on the ground?

Ok.... maybe that's why I don't have it. It's probably one or the other because if that puddle light was on it would probably wash out my Mercedes logo.

That is in your settings for lights. I have that in mine. I have the lights under the mirror, but DO not have the lights in the head rests in the back, ill check again.

you have performance seats too right? I bet they’re all on the same circuit so when they swap the sport seats for performance we lose all the seat lights.

No... that's not the case. I have performance seats and still have lights in the rear headrests. You likely lost the lights due to parts shortages.
