I have a 2022 Lightning Lariat EB truck. From what I read on the Ford website, ambient lighting is standard on this model.

I looked in the online owner's manual for the directions concerning ambient lighting and found a short passage on page 128, which reads:

"SWITCHING AMBIENT LIGHTING ON AND OFF
1. Press Settings on the touchscreen.
2. Press Vehicle Settings.
3. Press Ambient Light.
4. Switch Ambient Light on or off.
ADJUSTING AMBIENT LIGHTING
Drag the slider left or right."

I found that "Ambient Light" is a heading under "Settings" (and not under "Vehicle").

Regardless, I have turned "Ambient Light" on and maximized the brightness by dragging the slider to the far right.

After following these instructions, the ambient light feature does not appear to be working.

I assume ambient lighting would come on when a front door is opened whether the truck is running or not.

Can anyone provide any insight, please? Thank you. Lou C.

Maybe I don't know what to expect???

What should happen when ambient lighting comes on? I guess I was expecting the footwells (at a minimum) to be illuminated. Is this a poor assumption?

XLT 302A here - ambient lightning works no issues for me, it’s fantastic!

Terrific! When ambient lighting is "on", where does it show up?

For me the ambient light fills the footwells and has some other lights in 'map pockets'/etc. I WILL note that it is basically invisible unless it is dark out.

Thank you. I'll check it out in the dark.

Thank you. I'll check it out in the dark.

The ambient lighting does work, but it is very dim (as you mentioned).

Thank you for your response. Lou C.

In the settings where you turn ambient on there is a dimmer control. It is NOT bright at any setting, but you should check to make sure you have it as bright as it will go.

Are you able to change the color of the ambient light? It’s my daughter’s favorite thing about my superduty haha

Not that I can tell, there isn't a setting for it. My wife's NiroEV had the option, but not the lightning (at least yet).

I have it set on the highest output. It still seems awfully dim.

No- it is a single color - blue.
