They must help illuminate the parcel shelf behind the seats, looks good as you approach the car from outside as well

This, parcel shelf lights. 35i up have it standard, or option as a lighting pack.Smartbear wrote:They must help illuminate the parcel shelf behind the seats, looks good as you approach the car from outside as well

They're part of the extended lighting option, also lights in the interior door handles and mirror housing. You don't really notice them if you're driving at night in an area with street lights. It took me a little while to work out where the light was coming from the first time I drove at night in the wilds...

Yep, this part of the extended lighting option. Exterior door handles, puddle lights, strip lights under door storage, internal door handles and parcel shelf. The shelf ones are brighter when doors are open and then dimmed for driving.
Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?
