Do I have Ambient lighting yes or no

How do I know if my 2015 ML350 has ambient lighting. I have the lighted door handles on all four doors and the window switches are lighted. I have notice on this site that some Ml have the cup holders lighted, mine does not. I plan on replacing the wood in the interior but the seller needs to know if I have ambient lighting or not. He has both sets. Thnks

1. You will see it as a band of blue yellow or white light under the wood dash trim at night.
2. It will also be a setting in the DIC as to which color you want displayed and how bright you want the light.
3. You will also have illuminated front door sills that light up when you open the door at night.

4. under the front passenger seats there are lights illuminating the floor
5. rear passenger door courtesy (Red/white lamp)
6. you can change your cups to the heated/cools (Chris the swede did it for his ML350/GLE63 retrofit and you can get the assembly, last time i talked to him he had a used one you can retrofit)
(options is solar (nothing is happening), blue (cooling), red (heating)
(forgot one other item)
7. the cup holders (if you dont have package 311 temperature controlled cup holder) will have a solar light at the rear portion of the cup holder
8. the vent switches will be illuminated too
if you wanna see a good example, go to the GLS picture section, there is one perfect example. OR see the following picture:





Also
Chris the swede is selling the Dash with the ambient lighting on them the four door panels and the front dash (which i am assuming all the people without package 876 want)
