Ambient led lighting

Post by Marrow » Thu Oct 05, 2017 8:25 pm

Hi my car has ambient lighting and the passengers interiors door strip that lights up the door pocket seems to have gone very dull/ faint. It’s still on but noticeably dull compared to all the others. Has this happened to anyone else ? Is there a fix ? Or do I just need a new led strip fitting ?

Thanks

Just ploughing through some old posts and read someone else reporting something similar, however the general consensus was the light was extremely dim from the factory and it was questionable whether it could be called ambient lighting.

It maybe that it's working perfectly fine but just not as bright as you would expect, someone else chipped in on that same thread and suggested there was a menu in iDrive where you could alter brightness??
