that sucks now i wish i woulda got it but i only ordered a 1ss now im not very happy maybe i can have it dealer installed lol

 

They do sell the footwell ambient lighting as an accessory that you can purchase.

 

why have they not really said anything about this ambient footwell lighting? heard about it a while ago and havent really seen too much of it.

 

I know when Camaro Scotty showed us the accessory catalog with prices it showed the footweel lighting as an accessory with a picture. I think it was something like $350. It appeared to be a roll of ligh tubing that I would assume would plug into the footwell light sockets and the tubing would clip underneath the bottom of the dash where the current bulbs are located.

 

its a tube? liek a neon tube? eehhhhh...i dont know about that. sounds kinda ricey. id have to see if though. if it were totally hiden out of the way and it didnt light up the entire car while it was on, it might work.

 

From what I gather it would be totally hidden and only provide a small amount of light, that is basically what ambient lighting is, just a subtle amount of light in the footwell area. I am guessing that it would be available in either the blue or the orange colors to match the ABL in the door or even the dash lighting.

 

I just went back and checked on Newman Chevrolets parts section on their website. This is what the ABL footwell lighting is. I thought it was a tube, but it appears to be just 2 harness/plug-in type of lighting attached to wire about 12 inches long. It probably just plugs into the existing footwell bulb sockets and clips up underneath in the footwell. It might actually be pretty cool, but $200 is kind of pricey. It might be just as nice to replace the incandescent bulbs in the footwell with a white or blue LED bulb! here is the link...

Sounds interesting. Never seen it anyone got pix?

 

That's not ambient lighting....My CTS has ambient lighting, and it lights up the whole floor of the car from front to back.

I love the new Camaro, but a strip of light does not equal ambient lighting.

 

Yeah, thats what I thought it was too..... I don't know if I like it, couldn't get a good view of what it looked like with that video.

 

Maybe I just remember wrong but in the concept video the light "ran" across the dash upon startup. I know the ambient lighting across the dash didn't end up happening but I was wondering if there was still any remnant of the lighting running along the door panel or something. If it just comes on then what is so cool about the ambient lighting? Wasn't the ambient lighting what Scott was talking about a while back when he said the car did something really cool on startup?

 

nothing too cool. it just turns on.

 

Thats how it should be. Too bright and it'd be hard to see outside the car at night.

 

^^^^^ thats the way my nav is in my hummer. it is so damn bright at night. i can adjust it i just havent.

 

I want it to strobe like a Cuttlefish!
Instant ticket.
