Default Interior lighting on Pan S

What to do? Is the rear interior lighting worth it? and what is the extended lighting package? Some clarification on these options would be very helpful! Thanks in advance.
PS....any aftermarket options which are considered "must-haves" to give some extra pop to the interior at night?

Also, as a general question, what are your opinions on the interior lighting in general? Is it dark while driving at night? Are there any colored/LED options available or do you feel the stock lighting is nice?? Any aftermarket add-ons that are available to give the interior some pop since I do alot of night driving??

Out of curiosity why do you feel the need for "pop" in interior lighting? I often drive at night and out of habit prefer a very low level of lighting including dash and elsewhere since the eye can lose it night vision acuity easily for extended periods and make identifying roadside animals, etc more difficult.

I have the rear interior lighting and find it both useful and nice, particularly with my light colored leather interior.

Would love to see a nightime pic of your interior if you wouldn't mind.

The preview looks grainy, but it'll give you an idea of what it looks like. If you open the attachment in a new tab it appears better.

When you are driving at night, and rear reading lights are on, how visible are lights from the driver seat. I would guess that standard light on the side will be visible but not sure about middle one.

My kids love to read while we drive long distance, and on my S4 rear reading lights were completely not visible by the driver, so they did not bug me at all. So I am trying to decide if rear lighting package will help in that situation or not.

Thanks,

Vadim

The reading lights are not objectionable for the driver, I never notice them when they are on.

I have the "Rear Interior Lighting Package" as it's called.
