Thread: Mood Lighting

Nothing to see here, move on.

Simply because, it didn't happen, without..............


Can I add it to the build when I order the car, Pete?

Hi Basil,

If you order an HSE it is std, otherwise not an option.
But like me you can fit at a later date. :-)
Pics to come....

thanks for coming to my rescue, I was already suspecting alzheimers ...

Was there any of that mood lighting available for the D3/LR3?

I have heard of small lights located within the overhead reading light assembly that shine down on the centre console area but I have never actually seen them.

They all have the one over the gear lever. Wave your hand below the front interior light cluster at night.

I took your suggestion - waved my hand up close and there was the light illuminating the back of my hand. It helped that I turned up the dimmer switch and yes, now that I pay attention, it does put a bit of a glow on the top of the shift lever and the yellow downhill button.

I must say that I had never really noticed it before. I guess I do not drive much in the dark in the summer; does not get dark here until about 23:00h in the summer. In the winter, as in today, it was dark at 16:30 h but the street lights and the snow tend to brighten things up to the point that you can read a newspaper outside as long as you wear your gloves. Out in the country, same thing if it is a clear sky and a near full moon.

Today this afternoon, for the first, and I hope the last time, I drove the 3 what I would call IFR, like one might fly a plane.

A blinding snow squall hit while I was on a local freeway; it was like driving inside a snowball. When that happens I try to get off at the first available exit. In this case, I could see one on the NAV but not thru the windscreen; hence when the next exit ramp showed on the NAV, I edged over per the NAV display and followed the track. To my relief, no lumps, bumps or ditches presented themselves - the technique works OK on my Beech but this is the first time I have tried it in the Land Rover. I however do not recommend it.

The jpg below I took on the weekend when I was out shovelling snow from around the plane near high noon. The dull grey is typical and the if you could see the sun, it would be low in the south - in this case, sitting just above the roof of my 3. When it is dull like this and a snow squall hits, there is no up or down - I think your dust storms create the same conditions.

Note my 10 spoke 18" rims I am so proud of with the narrower 235 65 R18 XL Pirelli Ice and Snow tyres mounted. To me, the narrower the tyre is, the better in snow.

Brrrrr...

Coming into Summer here.
