Hello Everyone, 1st time post. Got my new 2025 ST on the 18th of this month and really love it. This question goes out to other 2025 ST owners. Are you using your ambient lighting and if so how much
light does it put out. Pictures I've seen show quite a lot of light all across the dash and both doors. Mine is only showing light on the small door panels where the window and door lock button are. The adjuster is at max.
My 2020 Edge ST had the doors, cup holders and under the dash in footwell area. I just want to make sure that I have a problem before I go in and complain.
Thanks

It's really just under the dash line and the door handle area. Hard to see during the day, but easier at night. I have it set to red and max. It's not as bright as the promo materials.

Cup holder lights went away after 2021 models.

Thanks for the reply's. I just went back out and checked, looks like I have everything, I didn't realize it was going to be so little but is just another thing that Ford is eliminating from there
cars. I was upset to find no console tray or cargo net either but they expect you pay top dollar. Sorry for the soapbox. Thanks again

Ford's plot to get those who want these features to switch to Aviator and pay $20K more! LOL

My22 Edge ST (that I just picked up Tuesday) has cup holder lights, but my 22 F150 platinum that I traded in on the edge did not have them. There's a forum member on here that is attempting to help resolve this issue on the 22-24 MY Explorers. I can't make heads or tails of which models Ford chose to remove them from and why.
