Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / (interior) car lights
German term or phrase: Ambiente Leuchten
I will post all these terms separately, but they are all from the same list and they have no context. This is all the context I have for them.
Since there are so many light types, I can't figure out which one is which. That's all I've got about them

· Fußraumleuchten
· Ausstiegleuchten Fond
· Innenleuchten
· Vorfeldleuchten
· Handschuhfachleuchte/Ladesteckdose
· Make-Up Leuchten/Leseleuchten
· Gepäckraumleuchten

Bei eingeschaltetem Abblend- oder Fernlicht leuchten auch die Leuchten, welche an der Klemme X angeschlossen sind. Diese haben mit dem KBM keine gemeinsame Funktion. Die Leuchten sind als LEDs ausgeführt.
· Ambiente Leuchten
· Griffschalenlicht
· Ablagefachlicht

as an alternative suggestion - these light emitting diodes installed in specific areas where caution is required (eg. by steps etc.)are referred to as courtesy lights.
