Arrow Ambient Lighting

I have a 2010 SS Camaro and my ambient lighting doesn't work on my driver's side door or dash, is there a switch? Or do I have to get it replaced?

there is none on the dash for 2010 (i think they may have added to dash a couple years later?)-- just on the two door panels with if you had that package.

so, it sounds like you only have it working on the passenger door. the only "switch" will turn off both at the same time -- it's controlled by the dash dimmer switch. if that switch is all the way up, ambient lighting should be on on both doors. if you turn it down, they should go off.

sounds like you might have a problem with the drive door.

if this is after market ABL (ambient lighting), then this is all irrelevant

Thank you; ya it's only the passenger door that works. I'm the 2nd owner so I'm not sure if it's aftermarket or stock. The lights look like it came from the factory though.

The bulb can burn out. Also common is that people forget to screw the bulb holder back into the panel when putting the door back together. If you remove the plate behind the handle and lock slider, you may find the bulb dangling loose in the door.
