Ambient lighting is starting to become popular in luxury and medium priced cars. Some cars have 2 or 4 LED lights positioned on the roof with the light clusters, just like those in the BMW 5-series. The X5 has those pluse 1 red LED behind each door handle. The Honda Legend only has blue ambient lighting above each door handle. I know the Audi A8 has ambient lighting but I have no idea where they are located, if you can take some photos for us James, that will be great. |
Yes I did notice those lights... A great detail about the A8 is that all of these ambient lighting are in white, including the door handle lights as well as the rear view mirror bottom light. It gives it a very futuristic feel. I also like the Phaeton's very cosy dimming lights which don't turn off immediately, giving a more gentle feel... Haven't really scrutinised the lights of other cars though. One detail I like about the Lexus is that its number plate lights are all white.
The BMW ones sound nice, don't think I've noticed them before... Would be great to have some photos by some Beemer owners here.
