On my JLR That is for dimming accessory lights such as around the cup holders. My JTR hasn’t shown up yet.

Ooh boy, i'm gonna check that out shortly! Thanks in advance. I tried so many things and scenarios to figure it out, can't find mention of it in the manual anywhere. I have a sport s but i believe there is at least one little light for the cup holders...ima check that shizzo out. Word

It also adjusts the light that shines on your feet.

it doesn’t dim floor lights of Sport S. Others have said, the dimming floor lights are a Rubicon item.
Mine dims door handles and cup holder, but it doesn’t do much. Must be dark, dark, dark to see change difference.

It's the most useless thing on the whole truck. I was thinking of using the power from it to install some more ambient lights just so I feel like it has a purpose.

Yeah, I jacked with this several times and only saw the change when it was dark, dark, DARK as stated above. Nice thought but useless to me. The dash lights in the cabin overwhelm the lights this controls. Heck, a lit candle on the surface of Mars will keep you from noticing the change on a cloudy night.

Hilarious responses and thanks for the manual snapshot! I must have glazed over the last half of that. Agree with ‘must be the most useless thing on the whole truck’ bwahaha, I am so underwhelmed I forgot to even go check. Maybe tomorrow when I remember again...if I remember again.

Thank god i'm not the only person who has been dumb founded by this "feature" now I know.

Ok so I just went out to see what it does. It only changes the minuscule backlighting behind the door handles. I didn’t even know there was lighting back there so it’s a struggle to see it for sure...pitch black garage. The cup holder light dims with the dash lighting. I guess only the fancy folk with their loaded up rubi’s and overlands will notice more if they have the footwell lighting? My sport s doesn’t have that. Hilarious

Yea. I would rather have that wheel dim the rear glass window so I don’t have to stare at the reflection of the display at night. Lol.

But, as stated in the manual, we still need to have the headlights on with our LE Rubi’s...
