Ambient lighting changes the feel of a vehicle cabin with subtle light along areas such as the dash, doors or footwells. Before installation, decide where the light should appear, how you want to control it and how bright it should be at night.
Start with the cabin layout
A clean result depends on the vehicle’s interior shape and trim. Light strips that look natural in one model may need a different route in another. OSRAM’s interior-lighting information describes flexible strips used for personalizing cabin lighting, with variations in colors and brightness depending on the kit.

Decide on controls and power
Ask whether the chosen setup uses a remote, app or vehicle-linked control, and where its power comes from. Discuss how wires are routed and whether trim removal is needed. The exact method depends on the vehicle and kit; the installer should explain it before work begins.
Keep the result comfortable
Photos often make lighting look brighter than it feels in person. Ask to see examples at night and choose a brightness you can live with while driving. Avoid placing lights where they obstruct instruments, mirrors, airbags or driver visibility. Confirm that the installation suits your vehicle and local requirements.
