ambient

Has anyone got the ambient lighting option on their SL? Is it a worthwhile option and can you actually see it at night? I've had it on another car in the past and it was so dim you wouldn't even know it was there. A picture of it would be good if possible :)

Hi, Having recently replaced my auto-dimming rear view mirror for a auto-dim item with ambient lighting it got me thinking about possibly retro fitting the rest of package. But I,m not sure where the rest of the ambient lighting was on a 210, I,m sure i have read that the door exit handles...

I have noticed that sometimes the passenger footwell is dimly lit while driving and at other times is pitch black. When the doors are open it is very brightly lit. Can someone please advise if it is it normal for the footwell to be pitch black while driving or not? My car is a 2012 C Class 125...

I had a look (laying on the floor looking up!) - and the ambient lighting strips seem to be fitted into the wooden door trims. Does anyone know if these are, or could be connected to work as an after fitment. It did not come with ambient lighting. Thanks.

The ambient light from my rear view mirror stopped working, any ideas on how to fix it?

It has always irritated me that Mercedes located the ambient air temperature sensor right next to the radiator [W168], the end result is temperature readings that increase when stuck in traffic. Would it be possible to re-locate the sensor elsewhere on the car and if so whereabouts?? Thanks

I recently noticed that the foot-well light have a mind on its own. They always come on when I open the door (in the dark) full bright, but when I close the door, sometime they stay dim till the end of my journey, but most of the time they go off at the same time as the curtsey light or...

I managed to buy a pair (front & rear) ambient lights domes for a few bucks, but I was wondering is this just plug and use or do I need somekind of module to get this thing working? Because the car wasn't equipped with this option, it's just a 'classic' w211 Thanks guys!
