how do you turn off the inside lights?

ssangjune · 08-09-2005, 09:43 AM

Is there a way to turn off the lights inside when you open the door?
I just like them all off when ever the doors open.
thanks.

Um, I think if you hold the button (to turn the lights off) for 2 seconds (with the key in the ignition) it keeps them off always... I'll go outside and check with my car now. :P

Yup...it works!
And to turn them on again (so that they come on when you turn your car off and open the door) you just push the on button.

So to turn off permanently, push the button for two seconds :-)

The center switch in these pics ( by the light )

Some lower spec E90 may not have this switch

circle'd the switch incase you were still confused....

I think all cars have the center light on/off switch! - It's the rear light that doesn't have the switch on the lower spec cars!

The reading lamps might not apear on lower spec'd models either!
