Tesla is Now Offering an Ambient Lighting Retrofit Option in China

Tesla has begun to offer the ambient lighting feature as a retrofit for certain Model Y vehicles in China. Tesla will have to conduct the installation in service by Tesla technicians. In order for the ambient lighting features to show up in the vehicle’s software, Tesla enables a flag in the vehicle’s firmware.

This ambient lighting kit, like the updated Model Y in China, only covers the dash and doesn’t flow into the doors, so it’s a little different than the built-in ambient lighting that’s being offered with the refreshed Model 3 Highland and Cybertruck.

In terms of software, this kit should have all the same software options that the Model 3 and Cybertruck have for ambient lighting, including color options, as well as the upcoming brightness control and Night Mode for ambient lighting.
