DH Styling guide

Choosing your interior lighting

A photo can be a useful starting point for a lighting enquiry. Before choosing a kit, think about which parts of your own interior you want to light, how much coverage you like and how you want to use it.

Which part of the cabin do you want to change?

Ambient lighting adds light around areas such as the dashboard, doors, footwells and centre console. A starlight installation puts fibre-optic points into the headliner above you. They change different parts of the interior, so start with where you want to see the result.

Roof-edge lighting is another option on suitable interiors. Strips around a panoramic roof and stars in a headliner are different installations. If a photo shows both, tell us which part caught your eye.

Choose the coverage before the colour

For ambient lighting, decide whether you want a few areas lit or a more complete cabin installation. Look at the rear doors and footwells as well as the dashboard when comparing examples.

For starlights, look at the space between the points of light. More fibres across the same roof create a denser pattern. The roof size and layout matter alongside the fibre count.

Think about the controls

Would you prefer to change the lighting through an app, separate controls or the car’s existing screen? Available controls depend on the vehicle and the kit. Screen integration should be checked before you choose a package.

Mention any existing ambient lighting, including areas that are already controlled through the screen. If matching the old and new lights matters to you, include that in the enquiry.

Use examples to explain what you like

Pick one or two photos and say what you like about them: the lines across the dashboard, lighting in the rear, the colour or the spread of stars. That is more helpful than asking for everything in a photo without checking the details.

Your car may have different trim or a different roof layout. We use the reference to discuss the effect you want, then check what is suitable for your interior.

Planning more than one lighting upgrade

If you want ambient lighting and starlights, include both in the same enquiry. Tell us which upgrade matters most to you and whether you have a total budget in mind. The coverage, controls and work can then be discussed together.

You do not need to know the kit name before contacting us. A clear description of what you would like changed is enough to start the conversation.

What to send us

Take the photos while the car is parked. A wide view and a few close-ups help us understand the layout.

  • Your make, model and year.
  • The dashboard and front and rear door trims.
  • The whole headliner, including any sunroof, for starlights.
  • Details of lighting already fitted and how you control it.
  • A reference photo and a note about the areas you want included.
