Ambi Light on windshield reflection

Last night I enjoyed my first evening ride with W222 but was so distracted and dissapointed because I can see my blu ambi-light reflection in windshield when I am driving on dark streets with no external lighting .

Is this common for W222, i know people complain about it on W223?

In the end I had to switch to some lighter color to not see reflection anymore, but really like the blu which I cannot use.

You can turn it off if it bothers you.

I don't have that issue and I leave mine all the way up. If it bothers you, turn the brightness down.

Never even though about that I think you will probably get used to it but easy to turn down or off

I have noticed that too , some colors seem like to disturb but adjusting the brightness definitely should work . I like pale blue , it doesn't disturb the eyes at all
