Ambient Lighting

Unfortunately I still haven’t found the “right” deal for me to be able to purchase my 19 C43. I’ve never really seen the ambient lighting at night time in the cars and how sweet it must look. I don’t know anyone who owns a C43 and the dealers here are closed before dark. Do any of you fine people have some pictures of it all lit up? Just out of curiosity.

I have and glad I did, assume you're talking about the upgraded version. Can't the dealer get a car into the shop or somewhere dark. Otherwise tell them to loan you a car overnight, I've done that many time for extended test drive or to check out the new headlights, no test drive no deal.

The cars I have looked at were in the shop or underground storage and it was so dang bright in there it was like being outside unfortunately. As well the extent of the test drives the dealers where I live, seem to be a quick 20 minute drive, half city, half highway and back again. I understand it is a lame request and its not a deal breaker I was just curious to see it, and maybe if someone has some aftermarket ones installed as well. I appreciate your reply! Thanks

This. Blue really is nice and bright while everything else is much less. I love the red, but I wish it was brighter.

Any way to upgrade ambient lighting on 2018 c43?

Bought the car, was underwhelmed by the ambient lighting but happy with everything else. Is there anyway to upgrade it at the dealership or another shop to make it look more like the 2019 model or ( if this is even possible) the E class level of ambient lighting?

Somebody in the WhatsApp chat is about to install an LED module that unlocks all 64 colors, but with two caveats... 1) It sounds like it has to be installed at each door, plus center console. 2) It can be controlled via factory Comand settings, but the screen will only show the stock 3 colors. As you keep scrolling, the colors will change however.

I'm also very interested in this, so I'll try and make sure he posts here when he gets it all installed

GZcarphone makes a 64 color I believe. I installed their 3 color a couple years back. It was a pain in the *** for the doors. Not so bad for the center console.

Checked out the site.... looks pretty solid, how much did it cost? I see someone selling the product on amazong for 355 USD and reviwers are echoing that its tough to install
