Default Door panel LED light strip

Have you noticed there is an LED ambient light strip all along the wood panel on the doors? What's the point if it only comes on when you open the door?! Sorry for the dark cellphone pic..

I have a 08 A6 too and I have never notice that, I have to see if I have it. Is yours a 3.2?

In my car it's part of the ambient lighting and is on whenever my cabin lights are on. Maybe you need to turn yours up?

Yeah, same thing. They come on when the headlights are on, and are barely noticeable unless the ambient lighting is turned up on the higher side. I had the car for 1yr before I even noticed them.

Plus 1. Turn em all the way up, and turn your interior lights off so when you open the doors they can still be seen as well. Looks sweeeeeeeet at night!!!
