Selective use of indoor lighting when door opened?

[Jubas]

Hi all,

We've recently installed a car seat for our upcoming first newborn () and I've noticed the the rear internal light shines *right* down on where her head will be in the car seat whenever we open the door. Now, it's easy to turn off the lights if a door opens, but it seems to be for all the lights.

Is it possible for just *one* of the internal lights not to turn on when the others do if a car door is opened? The manual was of no assistance..

Yeah - that or tape it over is the last resort.. just wondering if I can find a more 'elegant' solution first

Isn’t the rear seat inside light on its own switch?

'Doors open' seems to switch it on regardless of the rear-switch, if the 'lights on when open doors' button is pressed up front. The rear switch seems more useful to turn on when driving and extra light is needed (e.g. for reading)

+1 for just removing that particular bulb. That's exactly what i did in our car when my daughter was a baby. Once she got a bit older (like 2yrs old) the light didn't bother her anymore so i reinstalled it.

Great - bulb removal it is then! Now to find a simple guide to follow, although I'm sure it's fairly self-explanatory

All globes are LED now. You might find this to be a sealed unit and you might not be able to remove with out further issues.
Happy to follow your process though...

I feel you can disconnect the cable for sure.
