Default Ambient Lighting Plus

Quick question while I wait for my car to get delivered (aka. the never ending hell)

Do the LED lights that are along the doors stay lit when headlights are on or do they only come on when you open the door. I can understand not having map lights on (think its actually illegal)when driving for to long, but the ones along the doors don't seem like they would interfere with driving and would look nice.

They stay on and brightness is adjustable through MMI.

They are pretty cool, but since I like a dark cabin at night, I turned the brightness all the way down.

You can also, IIRC, adjust the footwell lights indepentant of the doors and center console.

And, the doors have sill lights and exit lights that are not part of the interior lighting.

The ambient lighting in this car is simply amazing in my opinion.

Agree. Its interesting that no one seems to mention the two red overhead lights, everybody concentrates on the side lighting.

I agree. I have a 2010 Passat and it has red LEDs aimed downward on the center console. Its a nice effect.

Ditto. Red and white interior LEDs are amazing.

How can you adjust the foot well lights independent of the rest of the ambient lights. Not that I would. As I have a black interior and turn them up as bright as them go and barely see them
