true, but without any modification and within the box, is it possible to turn off the ambient light? I know that in BMW cars, such feature is available.

Are you talking about under your feet and the night time reading light?

If so, why would you want to turn these off? They're soo subtle even without tint, no one can tell they're on from outside.

The panel, as in the panel that holds each light in place, just feel around it and pull it out.

You'll unplug each one accordingly. Like I said in your thread, it's not that hard buddy. They have connectors that come off really easily.
