R2 Interior Accent Lighting

[riviandivian]

I have not seen any details about interior lighting on the R2. I like the subtle accent lights on the R1S and feel like the accent lights on the newer Tesla Model Y and X were a great addition, but I haven't seen anything about the R2. Anyone know any details on that?

It's there, you see it in the Carwow video of the R2 from about a month ago. He was in the studio laying in the back and it had purple ambient lighting on doors and dash similar to R1

Ok awesome, glad to hear that. Thought it would be weird not to have something but maybe it was a cost cutting thing.

It definitely is subtle, like the R1. Telsa, Mercedes and others really focus on bright color accents for personalization (and I think Tesla lets them flash and pulse as music visualizers too?). Rivian is more about subdued accents selected to fit a curated aesthetic.

You can adjust the intensity in the R1; From subtle to relatively bright. But yes, it’s more of an accent vs obvious, exposed light strips being part of the aesthetic.

On R1 ambient lighting, I wanted something like the Scout headliner lighting, and a FB group member did a similar install, so I followed his lead and did the same, but was able to run power from the front, rather than the 120v outlet in the rear. In the photos it's more burnt orange, but I managed to dial it in to get a subtle compass yellow accent lighting.

I love the look of this! Can you do a quick write up on how you did it or send the link to the FaceBook post your referenced. Thanks!
