Turning Ambient Lighting On during day time?

[g8mb1t]

When I have the main headlights on auto, it seems that the interior ambient lighting is switched off during the day.

Does any setting exists to keep headlight on auto and keep interior ambient lighting on during daytime?

Why?

Why?

Why not answer the question?
OP: Have you tried to change the light settings to forced lights on? Believe it’s the option below the auto settings (the toggle / wheel is down with your left footwell). Btw: Believe you will have to toggle off the lights manually when parking, by the same toggle / wheel (chose “0”).

No setting exists that will keep ambient lights on when the headlights or parking lights are off. However, you can purchase aftermarket ambient lighting kits and wire them to stay on.

The why is complicated, but trying to find a light source that would remain on, but also trigger on, on welcome and turn off. the UK and US headlamps differ(US has orange strip on headlamp) far simpler install as I want to install a light up pony in the front.

(US headlight with orange light)



Current scenario for uk high series headlamps has two options 1.)main headlamp and then the pony remains on for 30min before the car goes into sleep mode,2.) or find another source that go on at approach and switch off immediately, hence the ambient lights but they have limit as need to change lights to manual and remember to turn them on or off.

I'm wondering if forscan can change the auto switch setting to leave ambient on, as the 30min default on via harness option 1. will kill the 12v.

You might have included the lit pony requirement in your original post, vs. implying you wanted to drive around with cabin leds on that you couldn't see...

I THINK that if you turn the lights to MANUAL, then turn off the car, then open the door, you'll get a "HEY STUPID, YOU LEFT THE LIGHTS ON" ding, ding noise...
