2025 G550 ambient lighting?

Just took delivery of 2025 G550 and love the ambient lighting. I was riding in the back seat and could've swore that the rear air vents had ambient lighting (like the front air vents), but now does not illuminate. Can anyone comment that owns a 2025 if the rear air vent bezels are supposed to have ambient lighting? Thanks in advance.

I don't have one but I searched dealership inventory pictures online with some with lights on and the rear doesn't seem to be illuminated. So I think the answer is there isn't any light in the rear vents.

I have a 25 G 63. I just went out to the garage, the rear vents don’t have ambient lighting.

I think you’re seeing the ambient lighting reflecting from the door onto the center vents? I don’t see they’re lit from the photo?

I sent someone a message that has a G 580. Either he will reply to the thread, or let me know and I’ll reply.

Just like I thought, no ambient lighting inside the rear seat vents.

Excellent Craig and Alex. Really appreciate you sharing and answering.

We are switching to Mercedes after long time Land Rover Range Rover Customers. My wife just took delivery of her 2025 G550 she ordered and I am supposed to get a G63 allocation in January to order for me. Looking forward to navigating the MB brand. Thanks again!!

You’re welcome!
Let us know what you and your wife think of the G vs Range Rover. This is my 3 rd G 63.

You got it. So far she loves the G, though the ride is completely different...not bad or good, just different than the Range Rover. Appreciate your help!!

you’re welcome, order the performance package on your G 63. It rides, drives and handles much better than without the active suspension.

Yeah, completely changed the way it drives, I wouldn’t order it without the performance package.

Great tip and thanks again. I'll keep you in the loop. Having ordered so many Range Rovers over the years has helped with priority in the "G" world with my dealer "Family" network. Decided back in July to switch brands and ordered her G550 in July and it just came in...feedback is a 63 allocation is supposed to happen in January for me to order...we'll see...
