Default interior ambient lighting

ambient lighting gives visibility to the cockpit without dirstacting the driver's focus on the road ahead.

the new acura TL has it. bmw X5 has it years ago as well. what other models have it? does the M5, or other infinit modles have it?

I know the new E320 has it. I was so impressed by it. Usually, car interior light is just one on the ceiling. This E320 has two strips in the back. Depending on your mood, it can range from dim to bright in light. Of course, there's the footwell, exit, etc. lit lights as well...

I started a thread in the lighting forum, and no one knew what i was talking about.... i really hope someone can find out which type of LED's to use. I'm thinking of what would be the best color.... Im sure its going to look good glowing on the wooden shifter.
