2016 F150 Lariat ambient lighting question
Hey guys,
I picked up my brand new 2016 Lariat a couple of weeks ago. I noticed that with the ambient lighting on, and the truck dark otherwise inside, it seems like the lighting for the passenger side floorboard doesnt work. When I look at the light under the dash it is on, but it doesnt seem anywhere near as bright as the rest of the lighting modules.
Normal? Issue? I spent enough money on this truck that I feel everything should work right, even if it seems nit picky.
Thanks

Yeah, I found that. The passenger light stick is on, but it doesnt put any light down into the passenger foot well. It is almost like there is supposed to be a reflector or something behind the light stick, and there isnt. There is almost no point of having the light in the foot well on the passenger side as it is now.

I have a 2016 Lariat with technology package and with what I thought was every other option available but I do not see any menu option for ambient lighting in either the vehicle settings or on the sync radio. When I choose "Lighting", all I get is the headlamp off delay settings.
So is Ambient Lighting color/intensity another option that is absent on mine, or am I looking in the wrong place??? I thought a Lariat had pretty much all of everything.

Ambient lighting is standard equipment in 2016 Lariats (500A package) and above. If you have a 2016 Lariat, you should have ambient lighting. The lighting controls are on the touchscreen.
Just a thought - you are aware there's two pages of settings, right? Ambient lighting is on the second page. Just drag your finger across the screen to change pages.

On my console, when you navigate to a page, there's a little display with arrows going up/down/left/right to show where you can navigate from there. If you're at the "end" so to speak, the appropriate arrow get grayed out. When I first got the truck I followed all the menus/pages to all the places to see what was all there.
