C238 Ambient light back sides?
Hello - I have a perhaps silly question... I have a pretty much standard E220d 4Matic Coupe (C238), 2017. Just bought it, and very happy. Now, regarding the 64 color ambient light settings, in the display I am prompted about front and rear zones, and both are set at max light, but rear seems not to any lightstrips in the sides, unly under front seats. Is that correct, oor something wrong?

That is normal for the coupe, only the non turbine style e class vents has ambient lighting at the back. What you gain on the coupe is having ambient lighting in the front vents compared to the e class sedan w213 where it has none in the vents for example.

Thank you very much for your quick reply. Makes sense. Also I just noted the back sides lack the reces where the lightstrip should/would have been...
