Random aside, but did you also know that each key remembers your fan/temp settings? I have a winter key and a summer key hahaha

Haha, ay - was like that when I got it - matches the Japanese thing & won't be giving many lifts anyway 
.
Only thing I'm thinking of ditching is the door mirrors (black to black) & maybe the front grille replace with my black honeycomb one I've got.

Love my Extended Interior Lighting in the 335. There are amber ambient lighting units in both the front and the rear, and also ambient lighting along the full interior length of the doors and rear passenger panels. Very subtle but makes the interior look amazing when you get out of the city into the darkness of the countryside.

Yeah, because that's where you should be looking whilst driving?
Soldato
Oh come on.
It's a few LED lights.
You don't like em. Congratulations.
I don't like leased Audi TDIs either but whateverrrrrrrrrrr

Have you ever driven with lighting in the cabin? Heck, even someone using a mobile phone can cause glare on the glass. I just don't see the need for ambient lighting whilst driving.
Soldato
Yeah. The CRZ has some ambient as standard in the centre console tray but it's dim not in your face.
I would imagine most ambient lights are dim enough not to interfere with vision but bright enough to look nice.
You can get some after market kits like this for most cars which seem quite bright (example here is CRZ) but most are dimmer adjustable via the normal instrument dimmer dial, so not a major issue.

What's that got to do with anything? It's ambient lighting which dimly glows downwards to aid interior visibility for passengers at night. It produces no glare on the glass and is nothing like the brightness of a mobile phone screen.
Soldato
Obviously you haven't driven a car with ambient lighting. Usually ambient lighting is of the kind that doesn't cause any distraction...

Ambient lighting causes no glare on the glass. Remember, even those very useful orange lights that bathed your centre console in light in the 330d are classed as 'ambient lighting'.

Looks not too bad with the hardtop there Elmarko
And back on topic:

Right, took some pics tonight, my old nikon is not good in the dark but you get an idea of the different lighting (which you can adjust in mmi anyway). The led is much more white, dim but crisp in person. No glare on the glass lol even with all the lights on.
Nice to see another Audi using front fogs and DRLs instead of dipped beams. Must give better MPG or something as I've seen loads doing it....
Soldato
Those lights come on when you unlock the car on auto headlights. And obviously turn off or change depending on light outside. And as you can see I wasn't going anywhere.
Why does everything need to be explained in depth on this forum.
Seen those flocked roof linings before.

Not a fan really. I think this applies.

Ay, that's the exact one I got from the guy in the picture (was flocked when I got it) - the guy who does it's a local to me so was the first hard-top I found on the market for a decent price
(re-sprayed black).
