Ambient Lighting Inside

If you choose Interior Package, it comes with with Ambient lighting in 3 colors. The question I have is, without interior package, do we get the ambient lighting at all? If we do, is it a scaled down version (may be it might not lit all the places with interior package)? I greatly appreciate your feedback.

No ambient lighting without the interior package.

You can't in the US unless you get the Interior Package. Maybe in the future that will be changing because on the 2017 C Coupe ordering guide you don't need the Interior Package for Ambiet lighting. You just need the Premuim 2 Package... Which comes with Multi-Media package amongst other things. So maybe for 2017 it will change for US cars

I would disagree with those who say you don't get any ambient lighting without the interior package. You get a much reduced package. With the Ambient lighting in the Interior package, you get ambient lighting in or around the following:

The center console is outlined
The side door panels are outlined
The footwell is lit
There is a light facing down from the rear view mirror
The center console cup holders are lit

If you don't get the Interior Package with Ambient Lighting the following is included:

The foot wells are lit
The light is still there under the rear view mirror

You can not select any colors, but it's not pitch black inside the cabin.

I have the ambient light and would probably not have ordered it if it was an option on its own however; now that I have it, it makes a huge difference. I absolutely love it!

What colour do you find yourself using most? I have left our GLC on the orange (I think they call is "solar") setting since we picked it up - looks great at night.

I love solar too. I think ambient should be standard on GLC. It gives me my moment of zen. Or not zen?
