The door welcome light switch is located on the roof, together with the reading light, sunroof switch, and other settings. Here are the relevant details: 1. Welcome Light: Normally, whenever the driver and passengers open the door to get in or out of the car, the welcome light will instantly turn on and project onto the ground. When the door is closed, the welcome light will automatically turn off. Its function is to enhance aesthetics, making the car look more elegant and stylish, and it can also be used to alert pedestrians and other vehicles to avoid unnecessary accidents. 2. Automatic Sensing: Once activated, the welcome light can automatically sense and turn on or off by itself. However, it should be noted that the position and icon of the welcome light switch may vary depending on the car model. If the switch is not found on the roof, it is best to check the car's manual, as it will usually have the information recorded.

As a long-time owner of the Xingrui, having driven it for nearly two years, I remember the location of the welcome lights very clearly. They're actually hidden at the bottom of the exterior rearview mirrors - those small projection devices. Every night when I approach the car with the key, both mirrors project the 'GEELY' lettering light effect on the ground, which feels particularly ceremonial. The door sill plates also have welcome light strips that automatically illuminate when opening the door, lighting up the exit area to avoid stepping in puddles or on stones. Last time, a friend thought it was projection from the door itself, but I explained the actual light source is beneath the mirrors. The most convenient part is the fully automatic sensor - it lights my path when boarding and warns of approaching vehicles when exiting. After prolonged use, I've found this feature exceptionally practical.

I often study vehicle lighting layouts, and the positioning of the Xingrui's welcome lights is quite ingenious. The main installation points are on the undersides of both exterior rearview mirrors, where projection modules cast the brand logo. Once during a car wash, I deliberately crouched down to observe and noticed a small semi-transparent lens on the underside of the mirror housing, from which the pattern is projected when the light is on. Besides the rearview mirrors as the core location, LED light strips are also hidden inside the door sill trim below the doors, emitting a soft white glow the moment the door is opened. This dual-position design ensures the projection won't be blocked by the door while illuminating the entry and exit area. I've heard that higher trim models even allow switching between different projection patterns via the infotainment system, which is quite interesting. At night, when approaching and unlocking the car, the welcome lights illuminating the ground always make me feel particularly at ease.

When I first got the Xingrui, I was puzzled about where the welcome light was hidden. Later, I discovered it's embedded in the bottom shell of the exterior rearview mirror, projecting onto the ground. It's completely invisible when the car is locked, but when you approach with the key or pull the door handle, a light pattern is projected onto the ground below the mirror. The first time I noticed it was quite a pleasant surprise—the light spot on the ground changes angle as the door opens or closes. Once during a heavy rainstorm, this light helped me see the depth of the water before I dared to step out. However, I should remind new owners that sometimes the welcome light will automatically turn off after being parked for a long time—this is an energy-saving design. Just press the key to unlock the car again, and it will reactivate.

When checking out the Xingrui, I immediately noticed its thoughtful attention to detail in design, with the welcome light placement being a prime example. The light source is installed at the base of the exterior rearview mirrors, projecting an illumination effect by your feet upon unlocking at night, creating a small ceremonial touch. Compared to some vehicles that position these lights on the front bumper, this location offers two advantages: firstly, the height is just right to prevent the projection from being blocked by the wheels, and secondly, its proximity to the door provides better lighting for entry and exit. The door sill is also equipped with a white light strip for additional illumination, which proves particularly practical when picking up or dropping off elderly passengers. Once, when the neighborhood lighting failed, it was this welcome light that helped me avoid a manhole cover. The only downside is that snow accumulation in winter can easily cover the base of the rearview mirror, so remember to clear it promptly.

The positioning of the welcome lights on the Xingrui is quite thoughtful. The main light at the bottom of the rearview mirror projects onto the ground, automatically emitting a blue glow when the key is detected nearby. When opening the door, the auxiliary light strip at the bottom of the door also activates, creating dual illumination. This design is particularly useful during snowy winters in the north—I often finish work late at night, and the welcome lights always clearly illuminate the icy road surface. Placing the lights on the rearview mirror has another advantage: it doesn’t affect aerodynamics, and they don’t get dirty quickly in the rain. I remember the technician during the first mentioned that the power cable for these lights runs internally through the rearview mirror, so there’s no need to worry about water damage during car washes. The design is indeed well-considered.
