W213 Interior lighting

I have set all the zones at 5 level, still I think the led light glow is not as bright as i have seen in some cars... anything to do with the absorption of light by darker interiors? Or any other code to enable?

The colour matters, blue for example is the brightest. If you like blue then give it a shot.

I agree blue seems to be the brightest. Tinted windows would help them stand out more in the daytime as well.

Tinting is a great idea! Helps block UV rays too.

thank you all... mine comes with the acoustic package, so i think the windows are already tinted... i checked a different e300 that had more brightness, may be because of the beige headliner... mine is black! is there a way to change that? also is there some skylight like the 7 series?

Doesn't hurt to tint more but I actually don't think acoustic package comes with tinting. I think it just uses glass that absorbs UV rays and then prevent a huge portion of it from entering the cabin. I love to be wrong though.
No, the W213 E-Class does not have sky lounge like the 7 series.

They sell aftermarket ambient light smd led bulb that you can use to upgrade from factory led. Factory leds are dim..
