Been meaning to ask 2018 owners, does the amber strip on the headlight stay lit only when the headlights are on?

Thanks guys! It was between the white on red or black on black with the suede. I traded a black car and needed a change. I haven't had much time to play with it but I'm impressed with the handling and pickup. I've heard some bad things about the ZF 9-speed, but it has been behaving so far. Will post more soon...

Looks fantastic! I love that color combo, especially with the black exterior trim of the a-spec package.

Yes, or when the parking lights are on.

Congrats ! I like the combo , especially he red inside.
I'll go next week to test drive the A-spec . I'm pretty curious to see how the ZF behaves and if a big difference vs 2015 ones.
