This says there is: Flagship LS 460 Exudes Elegance, Refinement and Performance for Lexus Lineup

Interior Design

The thin film transistor multi-informational display and Optitron instrument cluster set the tone for blending functional high-tech with pleasing aesthetics. Tasteful wood and chrome trim as well as refinements to the interior lighting create a rich feeling, including LED ambient interior lighting with spot-lamp illumination in front and rear. Even the angles on the center console were optimized to enhance comfort for the driver and front passenger.

Not sure what the MB has but the LS does. I had my car for about 3 months before I was in a real dark spot one night and noticed that there is a light glare on the center console. I raised my hand from the light up to where the glasses holder is and there were 2 small holes with lights coming from there. I also noticed this on the RX but there's only 1 light.

As I answered on the other forum where you asked the same question:


I agree the interior lighting is underwhelming, as is the trunk. What I've done is to stash one of those small 9-LED flashlights in the overhead glasses pocket. I have a thin piece of foam around it to keep it from rattling.

There's a pretty decent amount, enough to keep things classy but not as much as other makes. Off the top of my head, there's footwell lights in the front and back, two LEDs mounted centrally overhead, the door handle cups have lights, and there's lights in thoughtful places like the seatbelt latches and interior compartments.

My friend recently purchased a Buick LaCrosse, and there's ambient lighting overkill in that cabin IMO.

For the trunk there is one in the rear deck and one in the lid. A pair of these takes care of the lack of light in the trunk, http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.51356

These will work in the overhead spots and in each of the doors, the rear passenger area, will brighten up nicely with this, http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.51003
