Huh! I have only had my car a week but I don't remember seeing the lighting like that on my door panels and dash.
Will have to look tonight.

Just went and looked.. The front foot wells light up not the back. But the rear door wood does light up.
It's pretty!

The non UL have lighted foot wells, but not along the doors or under the front dash.

I'm assuming you are talking about the front foot wells, right?

It won't ever be as bright as the video, but you can actually control the intensity of the ambient lighting by using the gauge cluster control brightness (two up/down buttons in front of the gauges)

The subtle glow is nice
