2022 MS Interior lights

[pvdoug]

It is very dark where the driver and passenger place their feet. I know earlier Model S had lights in that area but the 2022 does not appear to have them. Am I missing something? I have my lights set to AUTO and the lights beneath the front seats [for the passengers in the rear] are there and illuminate as expected.

When you turn on the rails and if you have ambient lights enabled should turn on the footwell lights in front and rear as well as on your door panel pockets.

That does work, but the lights are very dim and do not seem adjustable. Also, is it possible to have them on w/o having the headlights on? It does not appear so.

Mine are not that bright. Wonder if I need to get SC to take a look.

There is a cut out on the footwell for the light bar maybe yours is not aligned on the cut out. Or check to see if the light bar may be broken before taking it to service. I already had bad experiences having the service techs working on these new p2 models, So I try to work on my own car when I can.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to check. Although I've generally had positive experiences with SC techs, I too prefer to fix things on my own to avoid hassle.

See a post here comparing mine footwell lights to another users (use the quote in the reply to see that users photos). My passenger side definitely seems to not be functioning properly, even just compared to my drivers side.

2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

As far as retrofits go, I care more about the headlights. In my driving I haven't cursed the headlights. I have cursed trying to unsuccessfully find the horn button.

Re the footwell issue, I got my my MS back from the service center today They "cleared out" some of the fabric that was limiting the light and now it is a little brighter. The dim lights are now in factory compliance but still very faint. If anyone is aware of an after-market fix that would be appreciated.

Waiting on a full interior model s led upgrade kit to come out.

Abstract ocean and others posted they are working on one. Looks like it’s off to the races who releases their first!

Good to know. Please advise here when you have something for the footwells.
