Should I have interior lights?

[fabre27]

I just bought a 06' scion tc so this question might sound pretty dumb, but I just noticed last night that I dont have any lights where the automatic shifter is. I dont have any light when I open up the glove box, either. I didnt notice if there were lights by your feet when you open up the doors, but I wanted to know if I am supposed to have lights in these places. The person that had it might have taken out the fuse, or maybe its blown.

I have the manual tC but if I'm not mistaken the automatic has the lights under your tachometer so you know what gear your in and there are no lights in the glove box or by your feet.

ok thanks it does show what gear your in on the dash in green, but I just thought it was wierd last night when I got in the car and there were no lights at the shifter. I think they should of put a light in the glove box, but thanks for the response.

i think the is supposed to be a light at the shifter, but i drive a manual as well. you can always just buy led's or cold cathodes to put in the glove box or in the footwells or anywhere in many colors

Yea it is a little weird that there isn't a light in the glove box but oh well

That is what the front console illumination light in the cubby in front of the shifter is for. It is strange that the gears are not lit on the shifter indicators.

[fabre27]

yes it is very strange

whats the difference between cold cathods and LED's?

[TBITB]

the cathodes are similar to neon tubes and give off light differently and the leds are small lights you can stick many different places. (loose knowledge of these things, please correct me if i'm wrong)
