2010 2SS/RS Interior Ambient Lighting.
Do all the 10 2SS / RS models come with the interior ambient lighting? The guy I bought my car from mentioned my car had the IAL option... But you could barely see it. Have not fingered if my SS has the interior lighting or maybe it is turned off.
I have read the owners manual up and down. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Look in your cupholders, if you have two leds in them you have it.

The lighting is only on the doors, the cupholders have no LED's in the 2010 2SS/RS. Are you talking about the doors you can barely see or the dash?

Its the blue light comming from the doors. RS package comes with that.
If there were LEDs in the cup holders, they were homemade. I love that soothing light from the doors and the red blue and white from the instruments. Being bathed in light at night is cool. |

Not part of the RS package. LS, 1LT and 1SS did not have it, 2LT and 2SS did have it.
Edit: You know after typing that I wanted to confirm the accuracy, looked over the Camaro5 Wiki page and could not find any reference to ambient lighting at all. Can't seem to find confirmation. As I recall I was bummed because I liked the lighting but do not care for leather seats. Edit 2: Seems the 2010 1LT (only) Synergy Green special edition was an exception and did have ambient lighting. Edit 3: OK if you go to the 2010 Camaro brochure pdf, page 7 the picture legend states the following: "center right: ambient lighting on 2lt and 2ss door panels displays a soft glow during low-light or evening driving."

You an turn the brightness up or down. There is a dimmer switch next to the headlight setting switch.

I installed the ABL lighting on the dash like I think GM should have done. It's one of my favorite mods, really looks great at night.

http://www.gm.ca/gm/english/shopping...ories/overview Edit: just tried my link. You have to pick a year (2011) and a category (car), then I picked the camaro, and specified the SS coupe to get a list of available accessories. It's under lighting. My lights are in the cup holders and under the dash, both sides, dim or brighter in red or blue with a little push button control mounted on the console. I like it. |

Go to the DIY section and there are complete instructions including where you can buy the parts. I used EL wire so I could get consistant lighting all the way across the dash. I bought the EL wire on eBay, it's pretty easy to find. If you have the ABL lighting on the doors look for blue/green color of EL wire.
