Discussion About Interior Ambient Lighting - Page 4

Id have to say my favourite is probaly the BMW orangeish light. I like the sort of warm yellowish/whiteish illuminations we see nowadays. Pure white is even better in my opinion. I dont mind green - then again I would say that, 'cause gues what colour the illuminations are in the Toyota. The dials are bright white and red though...

Blue looks great too, but I would'nt say I'm that keen on it.

Some nice pics I found showing off some good ambience. I will post some BMW ones too.

Mercedes' instrumentation... Unparalleled.

Man, how do people take those kind of pictures BMW Power posted? Would wanna try it for the A8...

Mr. M · 12-07-2007, 06:00 AM

Took some evening photos.

Now you have some idea of how the lighting looks like under the door trim... Very clever.

Footwell lighting in white.

In 'City' lighting mode, the two rectangular lights will dim and act as 'lounge lighting'. It's very cool, but too intrusive and so we turned it off. It's better executed in the E-Class.

Beautiful Audi gauges. The needles could be thinner though.

In the door storage compartment.

3 LEDs below the rear-view wing mirrors.

Subtle lighting under the rear-view mirror.

Just took these more impressive photos.

Thanks James!! The interior lightning of your A8 looks great. It looks awesome with those bright interior colour. Would be interested how it looks like on a car with black/brown interior.

Stunning shots, James!

I honestly have to say as an overall package (not just the interior) I like the A8 more than 7-Series or S-Class.

wow fantastic photos James! I didn't know the A8 has 3 LED underneath the wing mirrors and inside the door storage compartment. I notice there is a little clear plastic cover thing on the door handle. Does that light up as well?
