I have it on order but I tend to like a darker cabin.

tbal

Yup, 3 different colors. Positive ive seen Off and settings from 1-5 for brightness. Setting 1 is barely visible anyways.

I have ambient lighting in my '13 SL and, like you, I've "generally" wanted a darker cabin too. But after having it, I can't fathom ever owning another vehicle without it. And yes, it can be turned off.

Thanks, tbal and cargo.

Does anyone know if you can customize the color?

3 colors, Polar, Solar and Neutral, no custom.

I think this is a must have option.

It's funny how clear the pics in the book and on the MB website shows the white/neutral color. Every time I switch to it, even at level 5, you can barely see it. And scrolling through the settings on the steering wheel, there is an option that says "disable"

Sorry to hear.. I figured black interiors would absorb the ambient lighting

My interior in my '13 SL is tan so very reflective AND attractive.

Of all the things to comment about, EVERY passenger and gawker loves my car's ambient lighting.

It's the new "must have" option for me going forward in ALL my vehicles.

akeni

Aw sucks. I was getting tired of the oem colors

tbal

Hahaha so true! White you cant even see... I stick with solar... its the brightest and matches all other interior lighting...

hi all,
i have a question about the ambient lighting option, i just signed the paper works with Mercedes dealer, and my car is on the way for delivery. But now i would like to get the ambient lighting option for my car, can i add it later or should i contact the sale man and find another car with that option ?

thank so much

It cannot be added for any reasonable cost. Up to you whether it's that big a deal. Lighted sills are nice, but Ambient is pretty subtle.

dragon1512

thanks bro, yeh i think i might talk to the sale man again, cause beside the ambient lighting, i also want the panorama sunroof, hk sound system and 20'' wheels, i missed a lot of good stuff (

my order was: p01 package, lighting package, keyless go, running board which were good but i fail on lane tracking, trailer hitch

is there any inconvenience or fee for switch to other car that match my demands ???

GregW / Oregon

It's up to you to see what you can work out with the dealer. Likely they can easily find another buyer. However, be prepared to wait to get some of the options you listed. There have been sporadic shortages of the Pano roof, 20" wheels and more.

dragon1512

cool, thank you for your advices, i will talk to my dealer on monday

have a great weekend

After I saw the ambient light in an ML350 (Beige interior) I had a few months back I was sold on it too! It looks amazing! I agree it's the new must have option.

No ambient lighting in the doors trim in a new 2014 E class amg body package, is it normal?

PureNick

See to me, "Solar" matches the orange of the buttons on the console and neautral DOES NOT look white but a whitish-orange.

Polar to me just looks goofy with the orange glow of the console/door/every other button.

ylemon

Yep, it can be switched off through the instrument cluster navigation

GregGebhardt

I loved this lighting. Get more comments from passengers. While going to Ruth Chris I switched it from Solar to Polar and when someone commented that the light changed color, I told them they were crazy. They caught me when I switched it back. :-)

Even if you like a dark cabin, this is the way to go!

HK is must have option for the price much better sound. I just had my dads 2014 s class for 2 weeks and it's better than his burmeister system.
He does have 7 colors for ambient light like purple, neon blue, orange, red, pink.
Laker fan here so had it on purple!
