Interior Lights: On or Off?

Post by vibenvy »

After reading through the "Seats: Up or Down?" poll/thread, I got to thinking about another goofy idea for a poll/thread... interior lights. All my interior lights are set to "door" so they all come on when the doors and/or hatch are opened. I am curious to see what everyone else has them set to...

Door. If they were to be set to on, my LED interior lights would make it bright as day during the night.

This is like the third poll I've voted on in the last couple of days.. LOL! Door!Though I wish there was a switch to turn them ALL (front, back, and cargo) on at the same time.. Instead of opening the door..

I'm a little confused by the poll. In my '05 I only have the choice of having it on door, on or off. I don't have the 1 light on door or 2 lights on door option. Is this something on the '09-'10?

Each one has the DOOR, ON, OFF switch. There is no master control for all of the lights. I think maybe the first gen vibes do have this option? You have to operate each one manually.Thus!.. you can chose any combination that you want!

Doors for now. Since I'm a new and proud Vibe owner, I didn't even realized that I had 3 dome lights... and even less that I could configure them manually! I had a Golf 96 before and it was under lit... now this Vibe is over lit (I'm not whinning, on the contrary!).Sometimes I love to have light when I open the doors, but sometimes, like late at night or at the Cine-Park, I like the privacy or darkness without neighbours sniffing through their window.I agree that it would have been a great addition to have a master control with the front dome light to switch them all on on demand. But I'm not asking for that much. My Vibe is already providing me with a looooot of convenience goodies!
