Question Ambient Lighting malfunction

Yesterday, while parked in a covered parking garage with the engine off and radio on I noticed the ambient lighting began acting erratically. The parking lot was dark enough to easily see the ambient lights. At first I thought I noticed the lights in the footwells flicker a bit, however I wasn’t positive at this point. Then I noticed the lights on the passenger door change to a different color and and then go off completely before returning to it’s intended color. Lightning on my door remained unaffected. Car is 3+ months old and never experienced this issue before. I was thinking perhaps there may have been some electrical interference since it was a covered indoor garage with stores above the parking garage. Please let me know if anyone else has had issues with the ambient lights, or if there is another possible explanation for this. My GLE has been trouble free so far. Thanks

That's the first I've heard of this. Personally I find the disco lighting an annoyance and have it turned off but that's just me. It should work as intended...sounds like a warranty issue.

If it happens again take a video if you can. The Dealer usually has to be able to observe the malfunction.
