What is ambient lighting in a car?

Why do vehicles offer ambient lighting? 

There are two main reasons for ambient lighting: 

• Function: The subtle light helps you see things inside the car at night without the harshness of a main dome light. This lighting can be handy for finding dropped items or using buttons and controls without fumbling around in the dark. It can also make it easier to see passengers, especially in the back seat. 
• Ambiance: Carmakers use ambient lighting to create a certain mood or feeling inside the vehicle. Different colors and lighting patterns can evoke a sense of luxury, sportiness, or even calmness. It can also be used to highlight design elements within the car, like stitching on seats or contours of the dashboard.
