Love our 2024 ES350.
Does this model year ambient lighting only shine white?
There doesn’t seem to be any setting to change colors. Not a concern, just curious since our 2012 Ford Fusion had changeable ambient lighting colors. Did I tell you how much we love it?

 

Just white. To have colors you have to replace with aftermarket. Some users on this forum have done that and post about it.

 

Thank you. I’ll be happy with white.

 

By any chance, was that a Fusion Sport? I don'rt recall any other Fusion models then with that feature.

 

Not sure if it was a Sport. We ordered it and I believe it was an SEL with all wheel drive, 6 cylinder, heated leather, nav., sunroof and sweet Sony factory sound system. Lexus is way nicer.

 

That was my first question. Love the ambient lighting. But, sadly no other colors. Its all good.

Ford Rangers have ambient lighting that you can change colors with... fyi

 

Toyota and Lexus are always last, or near last, to adopt technology. Maybe in 2035 their lineup may include ambient lighting with different color options lol

 

Granted Lexus/Toyota is a little slow in adopting the latest blingy automotive doodads, but you're only off in your prognostication by 13 years. "Complete redesign" Lexus models starting with the "new" 2022 model year NX has had changeable color ambient lighting.

For more details on that along with a link to a Northside Lexus Melissa O'Connell video showing the feature, see my May 2023 Suggested Interior Enhancements For 2025 Lexus ES 350 post #23.

 

So, after reading this thread I took my 2022 es 300h UL in to dealer to get Ambient lighting working again before warranty expires. They have had car for 3 days, Called to say it is about to have every servo. computer, relay checked., techs will probably cause more damage. Also said could be speakers I installed, they think it is a short but can't find it. I told them to hold off until I call Monday. The light just ain't that important. I had thought it was a simple fix. a fuse or something. Second time to dealer, what a mistake. I guess this is just a rant unless someone has experience with this. Thanks

 

Our 24 RX has colors as well. Whoopdedoo!

 

I don't see it mentioned often but if you set your dashboard lighting at 50% brightness or higher the ambient lighting will brighten/darken when you shift into and out of park. I keep mine right at 50%.

 

The ambient light on my 2023 es is as good as it does not exist. very dim but I also have the RX and the light there works in colors just fine. The Rx is also the 2023 version so I can't understand how lexus couldn't incorporate such a small change.
