Interior light picture request
Can someone snap a quick picture of your ML interior at night. I can't find a unit in stock with the ambient light feature and ok with that provided there is some interior lighting in the dash / door panels / cup holder similar to my E550. The illuminated door sills are really to only part of that option I would dig if that light yellow hue is present without the option. We have test driven several Ml but always during the day and I forgets about it until we are home.

Thanks in advance.

For this photograph I partially covered the overhead lighting you have with the doors open so as not to drown out the other lights. The footwell lights would of course be off when driving.

Greatly appreciated. Seeing the blue light on the dash and doors I assume this is the ambient lighting package. Does the standard ML have similar accent lighting in a single cold?

btw - That looks killer - retract my previous statement!

Sorry, misread you post. You wanted a pic w/o Ambient. No, no door/dash stirp accent light w/o that feature.

Damn...hoped the ambient just allowed you to change the lights but stock came with the slight yellow highlights like my 550. May have to rethink that option...again! Thanks for the picture.

Someone w/o Ambient should confirm what you get.

Are there any lights around the interior or only the buttons?

Most all are backlit but the ambient works for all passengers benefit.
You should be able to see in Gregs photo the button backliting

The blue ambient is awesome with the anthracite poplar trim, however the solar (golden) is dreadful.

I disagree. The blue light looks out of place as all the other lights are yellow. Only the solar color is a perfect match for the rest of the lights.
I wish the color change applies to all lights, rather than just the single light strip.
