Question about ambient lights

Hi All, I have a E53 and would like to know if the rear passenger ambient lights are much dimmer than the front? When I bought the car earlier this year, I "remember" all the ambient lights have the same brighness. It was only recently that I noticed the rear lights are so much dimmer than the front (see the following picture). Also, the "sound visualization" only works in the front and not for the rear. I took my car to the dealer and was told there was nothing wrong and the lights are how they suppose to be. They said maybe it was the software updates that changes the original setting.

I just want to check if it is the same in your car. Any feedback is much appreciated!

Jeff

Yes, the light bar is much brighter than all the other lights. I turn my light bar down to 4 or 5 and they all have the same relative brightness. This was discussed on the following thread.
