Mercedes w213 Ambient Light doesn't work properly

W213 ambient lights brightness stuck on 8%
I'm trying to give an answer here so that we don't look for another answer if this resolution of mine is beneficial to others.
I had the same problem and I started looking on the internet without realizing that I had changed the pollen filter. What I mean is that when you change the pollen filter on the right side of the driver, the plastic that will have to be disassembled will be 2 threadsOne is for the temperature sensor (the warm air that will circulate the car) and a second for the light under the feet. When disconnected it will turn off the lighting under the feet of both front passengers and half the lighting on the driver's side (as in the presentations above, It is seen that even the ambient light does not work at the feet anymore) Try to see if these 2 contacts are well put back in place, to me that was the problem and I would not have realized if I had not changed my pollen filter myself.
It is possible that sometimes after service B or A (when replacing air filters) some "craftsmen" forget to put back the two wires Excuse me if I made mistakes in expression

I had my car replaced the cabin filter last September. I did not notice the footwell lamp that was not "on" until today.
I removed the under dash cover and found out the wire was disconnected. I searched everywhere under the dash and I could not find the connector.
My car is the C238 coupe and the plastic panel is extremely hard to remove under dash (actually do not know how to remove)
I am taking it back to the garage which replaced the cabin filter and let them figure out where is the connector.
My driver side ambient light does not work as well.

Back to this old thread, are we talking about the white color connector that connected to the footwell lamp?

I connected the connector to the footwell lamp and everything was back to normal now.
So, in the future if someone has this similar problem, check the footwell light connector first especially after the replacement of the cabin filter.
Thanks to the one who mentioned about the light connector in this thread.

Hi Guys,
Do the ambient lights even turn "ON" during daytime? How do you set them to turn the ambient lights automatically on when there is not enough lights outside?
