I have a 2013 GS 350 Luxury edition. I am disappointed with the interior lighting - one light in front and two in rear. I have previously had a lincoln that had all kinds of interior lighting. I spoke to my dealer and he suggested replacing the factory bulbs with led lights - has anyone done this and if so where would I get the bulbs? Thanks

 

Yes, which interior lighting bulbs are you referring to?

 

Ones that light up when you open door - front centre and rear above coat hook on each side

 

Those are already leds. I found they're bright enough for me

 

I absolutely agree. The front interior light is woefully dim.

On the other hand, this is about the only thing I have found to criticise about the interior.

For a car that has more gadgets and adjustments than the early Apollo missions, they could have put in a brighter bulb.

 

Don't forget the door pipings, and foot well lights front AND rear. It's about the ambiance.

 

Where are those lights and how can they be turned on - I have never seen them on my car?

 

In my car I have 21 light sources when I open my car door.

1. Front center overhead light
2. Rear driver overhead light
3. Rear passenger overhead light
4. Front Driver foot well light
5. FD door sill
6. FD door lower light
7. FD door piping accent light
8. FD door handle LED
9. Front Passenger foot well
10. FP door sill
11. FP door lower light
12. FP door piping accent light
13. FP door handle LED
14. Rear Driver foot well light (On rear bottom of front seats)
15. RD door lower light
16. RD door piping accent light
17. RD door handle LED
18. Rear Passenger foot well
19. RP door lower light
20. RP door piping light
21. RP door handle LED

I dont know what the OP is complaining about. The GS has plenty of interior lights with the right amount of brightness for my taste. Most cars in this class has less lights and even dimmer. If you want ultimate interior lighting trade in your GS and put down another $40,000 cash and buy a 2015 Mercedes S550

 

You get the prize for the best-researched post!!! And I mean that.

 

I think the interior lighting is one of my favorite things about the 4GS. The light strips around the door trim and the hand rest for the mouse for the entertainment control looks great. Might gets dimmer when I put it in drive and brighter in park. Pretty cool if you ask me.

 

Door sills definately do not light up on my GS - nor do I have half the other lights - is it possible these come with the tech package only?

 

Door sill lighting are usually an extra option. My F-Sport came with it.

 

Look a little closer. The only
option for lighting in the interior is the door sills

 

Have anyone added the door sill lighting to their car?


Thanks
