2 Answers
Here are the related introductions to the disadvantages of ambient lighting: 1. Affects driving safety: Flashing or overly bright interior ambient lighting can impair the driver's visibility of the outside environment, divert the driver's attention, and compromise nighttime driving safety. 2. Increases power consumption: To some extent, it additionally increases power consumption, affecting the lifespan of the car battery. 3. Fuse blowout: Although ambient lighting is convenient for passengers, it offers no benefits to the car itself. In cases of excessive external power consumption, it may cause the fuse to blow. 4. Unsafe: Ambient lighting is only available in some high-end models, and its practical performance is not strong. The pursuit of aesthetics comes at the cost of safety, making ambient lighting a flashy yet impractical and redundant feature.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I've always felt that ambient lighting is flashy but comes with many practical drawbacks. The flickering lights at night can reflect off the windshield, distracting attention—I once nearly rear-ended another car because of this. Poor wiring during modifications can lead to short circuits or overheating, posing a fire hazard, and maintenance is quite a hassle. Bulbs burn out easily, requiring frequent replacements that can cost hundreds, which is no small expense. Long-term use of lights with high blue light content may cause eye strain, affecting driving health. My advice is to avoid installing such lights in the original car or use them sparingly—safety first. If modifications are made, only turn them on when parked for fun. In short, from a driving safety perspective, it's best to minimize light distractions and stay focused on road conditions for practicality.
