Default Why is there no indication that the lights are on?

Maybe I am clueless but I cannot figure out how to tell if the lights are on. Duh, when it is dark outside I tell but at dusk or in the rain it is difficult. I can check the position of the light switch but with multiple cars with different controls I can't always remember which way is up.

All my other cars have a light on the dash to indicate lights and brights and they only light up the dash when the lights are on which is another indicator. I used to toggle the fog lights to check but since I did the foglight mod that doesn't work any more.

What am I missing?

Default There is a bulb icon on the tach that is lit when the lights are on.

plus, the other interior lights will be on. the climate control buttons, radio buttons, etc.

Default Thank you for the info and for not pointing out that, yes I am clueless!

Doh!

In my defense it is a very dim indicator - not very visible in full light. The interior buttons are a good way to tell though.
