Does anyone know if it’s possible to switch the footwell lights off completely?
I can use the buttons up by the mirror and the dimmer thumb wheel to reduce the light level, but then the speedometer is too dim for me.
I’ve never felt the need to see either my feet or my passengers feet whilst driving and would like to switch it off completely.

Looks like it can be changed in the menus

Note to self. There is a difference between Ambient and Mood lighting.

Switching Ambient lights off turns off the footwell lights..doh.

It's called mood lighting because its total uselessness puts you in a bad mood.
