hmm... is a hoot.
I guess the camera increases the brightness and sharpness of the red color in these shots.

Re: Patil's 6R RHD Ambient lights my way:)
Thank you for your kind appreciation.
Yes all dash buttons are illuminating. Only heated seat buttons(for now) are non functional, rest all are functional.
Used Start/Stop button for ON/OFF function of ambient lights.
I've prepared a pcb circuit with special relay and positive voltage regulator to convert push button signal into continuous signal with on/off functionality.
For new module I've given +15 supply from fusebox(1A, fused). The circuit is normally closed, so it works like this.. ambient lights will turn on by default with turning on sidelights/ or light sensor activation in dark.
The ambient lights then can be manually turned OFF and ON again and so on with dash button(works only with ignition ON).
So far so good.

Re: Patil's 6R RHD Ambient lights my way:)
Aye Master you are absolutely right!... in reality the illumination is around 60 percent of what you see in pictures.
My photography skill sucks, and same goes with my smartphone camera quality.
Made a short video clip of ambient lights with dash button in action, illumination is almost real, hope you can appreciate it better.

Nice melody, it seems that your sound system sounds great.
The song played was old 70's Indian classic.
The sound system is comprised of stock speakers, and I've installed OEM tweeters front Apillars and C pillars in the back.
The Discover media sound processing is simply awesome to say the least, I never thought the stock paper cone speakers are so capable, underestimated them until I installed Discover media.

Yes, I appreciated the same on the standard speakers when I installed the Subwoofer with the AMP (Helix-VW).
Magic sound ...
I also noticed a great evolution of sound with the new Headunits in my most recent cars. In both Discover and Composition Media.
