What are the drawbacks of vehicle ambient lighting?

Drawbacks of vehicle ambient lighting: 1. Impacts driving safety; 2. Increases additional power consumption, affecting car battery lifespan; 3. May blow fuses when external power consumption is excessive. Vehicle ambient lighting serves as decorative illumination, typically in red, blue, green, etc., mainly to enhance the cabin atmosphere at night. When driving at night with cabin lights on, the windshield acts like a mirror, reflecting cabin light into the driver's eyes, making it difficult to see darker road conditions ahead and increasing accident risks.
I think the ambient lighting in the car is a major hazard when driving at night. It always unintentionally distracts my attention, especially when the light is too bright or the colors are too vivid, making it hard for me to focus on the road. The glare issue is also serious—when the light reflects off the windshield or rearview mirror, it blurs my vision. During high-speed driving or turns, even a small distraction could lead to an accident. I have to remind everyone that the first thing to do when getting in the car is to check and dim the settings, otherwise, the safety risk is too high. Sometimes the system automatically turns on the lights, and I have to manually turn them off to avoid interfering with driving.
