Does your ambient lighting have strip ABOVE speedometer?
Hello everyone I just got my E300 sport a week ago today, so very happy to have it and to be here.
The first day my ambient lighting had an issue, which service fixed. But since I've noticed- if I search google images for E300 ambient lighting, some cars (usually with the digital speedometer / tach)- have a strip of LED lighting above the speedometer. My car, with analog gauges, and several other pictures, isn't lit up above the speedo.
without (like my car)

Anybody know if there is supposed to be ambient light above the speedo? Does you car? Thanks everyone. John

I think the ambient light above the speedometer is only on cars with the second LCD replacing the standard instrument cluster. Mine has the standard instrument cluster and it does not have the ambient light above the speedometer.

I was also disappointed when I received my car and there was no ambient lighting on top of analog gauges. I thought it would since the loaners I had, had the p3 option with the digital display and backlit. Who wants to find out if its possible to add that strip of lighting?

So must be for 2nd LCD screen cars only
I checked the manual... and for ambient light settings the manual shows you can select
front
back
display
for intensity settings.
But my car, with analog gauges, has
front
back
entire car
so, no lighting behind analog gauges. I don't mind- there's plenty of ambient lighting! I just didn't want part of the system to be broken. Thanks everyone.

It's 64 colours. Though many are very similar it's hard to tell you've changed by one increment.
Post #6 has a good picture of the different colours...
