Ambient light F type v6 coupe 340hp
Hello guys, recently when looking at my spec I noticed that it was written :AMBIENT LIGHTING
But nowhere in my dashboard screen can I find how to configure it or at least put the ambient lights on.
I verified the bottom of the handle of the centre console where you find the lights and I found this :
Does it look like I have them mounted without the function on the software to put them on?
If so should I go directly to the dealership to tell them to add the function to use the ambient lights?

I wonder if I can ask the dealership to put the configurable lights and if they’re only going to add the function on the software in the case where the lights are already mounted by the factory but not activated

Ok, but does it seem like the lights are present but just not useable because I didn’t pay for the option?

Member Valerie Stabenow had the exact same issue and she got the JLR dealer to "turn it on" but the difference is it was an option she had paid for that they simply forgot to turn on at the factory.

I purchased my F a MY2017 premium, 6 cylinder, M/T, in the fall of 2020. I also have all the LED strips: door handles, grab handle and when I got the car, they did not light up. I didn't think JLR would put non-functioning strips in a car, so I pressed on with my research. I think the link above will help. Basically it was a dealer tech cure. He had to drill down to a module and enable that lighting. The saga may be all there in the link. If not, let me know, I will check back through my documentation.

Not configurable
This lighting issue is not the same as configurable. That changes the color of the lighting in various locations.(IIRC) The door handle, grab handle lighting is more like a courtesy lighting. It comes on when you get in the car. Not sure if it comes on in bright daylight, after the tech enabled it, I never bothered to eyeball it in daylight. It comes on in my garage, generally a low light setting.

Mine is configurable, and does work (2017 V6s) but are completely useless. They do have color options, but so what, they are beyond dim. Even the trunk light is worthless. I honestly don't know how we got here. A single, old-school incandescent bulb makes a lot more light than the worthless Jag interior LED's.

Correct. Cars with non-configurable ambient lighting still get soft blue in the door handles and the center grab handle.
