Ambient Lighting

[EasyPickins]

I haven’t seen much discussion regarding the LED ambient lighting. Obviously it won’t compare with the likes of the TLX or MDX, but a nice premium touch nonetheless.

That said, one unfortunate missing item seems to be wireless garage door controls.

I think from what I saw the ambient lighting color can't be changed. Not sure why, but that takes a lot of the "cool" out of it for me.

Agreed, even if it just changed based on driving mode (possibly with a custom setting option for the "individual" mode). White for normal, blue/green for comfort, red for sport mode. Seems like a relatively cheap upgrade to leave out making the lighting able to change colors relative to including it at all. Maybe a reserved upgrade for the Type S?

I agree that it should be customizable. Especially with how cheap LEDs are these days.

But since they can’t and they’re only a whitish blue, I’m glad I’m getting the apex blue with white interior. Ambient lighting has to match imo.

Does the rearview mirror not have the garage buttons? I can't watch Doug DeMuro's review again, I know he didn't mention it specifically, but that might be the only review with a decent shot of the mirror in it. I can't handle another 30 minutes of him.

My wife's Pilot has ambient lighting in some odd places, and I guess it's nice, but I figure one day they'll suddenly go out and by that point I will have become so numb to it that I'll never notice.

EDIT: Just a thought, the car does have Alexa and you can use it to control most garages with a $15 MyQ... but unlike your actual garage door opener, it'll only work ~60% of the time on the first try.

Just checked for you. There are no buttons on the mirror at least none that are visible (frameless rearview mirror) the cluster above the mirror also does not have a garage door button.
There are only: Moonroof controls, individual light controls (driver/passenger light), and the overhead light controls.

I hope it being one color only is wrong and it actually can change just like how it does in other Acura products.. feel like why include it at all if it's only one color. Not to mention it really wouldn't be much more to change it. Even non-premium car companies now have multi colored ambient lighting

I think in one of the reviews it said it changes with the drive modes. Considering that's 3 drive modes plus individual mode there may be only 4 different colors. Still very limited

Hopefully that is the case, and I assume you can choose your own color with the individual mode. Still, wish it wasn't limited and wish they put some on the dash. Think it is only on the doors right?

Hopefully one of the upcoming reviews will cover it at least briefly

Is there an update to this? I noticed it says ambient lighting in the description, but it doesn't have details.

The Integra has plentiful white ambient lighting for the front seats, not so much in the rear, and none of it is color adjustable. The only lighting color change is the gauge cluster color change with drive modes - white with normal, blue with comfort, red with sport, adjustable through those 3 options in individual.

Very easy swap. Type R part number: 34750-T20-R01.

Perfect, thank you so much for this. The pics shown look to be from your ITS, which already has the red ambient lighting...correct me if I'm wrong.

I saw Blackhawk Japan has fl5 lighting for the door handles and door cup holders, both in red and white. Would be cool to grab the white if compatible with my ASpec. Was this swap done in the ASpec if type-s?
