One of the things I looked forward to in the '07 TL was the ambient footwell lights. However, I was kinda disappointed how dim they were. I started looking at them today when I was cleaning my car and realized that they have a small white (opaque) cover over the bulbs. I removed both covers and it is brighter. I will be able to get the total effect tonight when its dark. It took a total of less than 5 minutes total to do both.

I've heard of this footwell lighting but have never seen it.
Can you snap a pic?

Its also on the the non-type S TL. I have a '07 Navi.

ok cool i'm sorry.what color are the lights on the non type s are they blue?

jmaikamon

Yes, they are blue. Its great because I replaced all the other interior lights with a set from TecToyz. I just checked and the lights are brighter at night. Now that I know how easy they are to get to I would like to replace them with bighter LEDs. I like how bright they are in the RL.

thats great..i will try that tonight...can u see them during the day now that their modded.

If the sun is shining bright I can't see it unless I put my hand right under the light. It does look better at night though. I still wish it was a little brighter though. The driver's side seem brighter to me.

How do you take the covers off? Did you had to unscrew any panels?

Thanks

Sorry I took so long, I went to New Orleans for a week. No, the panels come off with no tools. They just snap out. The light comes off the panel with a half turn. Then I just used one of my tiny jewelry screwdriver and pried them off. Took about two minutes.

Its indirect lights in the footwell to illuminate footwell. They're not bright but allows you to see your feet or anything else.

i did this to mine https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=153617 i know it looks hella bright but in person they aren't that bright. alot better than the dull stock bulbs. take some night shots so we can see them on without the covers.

I just bought the 08 TL and the ambient light is coming on. It did when I left the dealer last night. Do guys know how to turn them back on?


Thanks,
