Burmester speaker ambient light

Does anyone with the Burmester High End ceiling speaker notice the ambient light brighter on one side than the other? With all colors.

Thanks

Could it just be the viewing angle? Maybe sit on the opposite side and view it that way?

I think you're right. From backseat it's a mirror image of view from front seat.

See if anyone here has one to look. My dealer has no S classes with Burmester upgrade.
