BC Drivers: Understanding Cabin Lighting Inside Ford Vehicles

From the inside-out, every Ford vehicle comes with plenty of light sources. Those on the exterior - head, tail, fog, and daytime running lamps - are self-explanatory. However, cabin lighting can be applied to numerous units.

Cabin lighting refers to any interior light source that is used to illuminate the cockpit. Older models and lower trim levels tend to use halogen bulbs. These are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs but less so than LEDs. They contain a filament that generates light, and they are very sensitive. One positive note is that they can be dimmed, whereas the LEDs cannot.

Newer vehicles and top-tier models usually come with LED lamps. Shock-proof and unbothered by vibrations, these use semi-conductor technology to emit a bluish-white beam compared to the conventional warm yellow beam of the halogen version. They also last longer, so you won’t need to replace them too frequently.

Types of cabin lighting in many Ford vehicles can include a central overhead source in the middle of the roof or an overhead console with luminary fixtures. Reading or map lamps are also in the category.
