Three choices, accordingly to manual. Cannot change from the light orange color. Can I change color in a '12 CLS 560 without sport package? Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much Konigstiger. Most appreciated. I have the same manual though, and I tried to do exactly as stated prior to my post. It's not available on my settings screen. I can get as far as the bars for the intensity of the ambient lighting. Not a single reference to color. Again, thanks for trying to help out here!

In the US, ambient lighting with the 3 separate color options is a standard feature, but in Europe (and likely other regions), there is a lighting package that is an extra cost option that gives you the separate colors.

I leave mine on the amber color all the time anyway, as the white and blue colors are not as bright, and the amber matches the backlighting of all the controls/buttons.
