As some of you already know, I just got my baby back from the dealership yesterday, and one of the options I had installed was the Interior Light Kit (Blue).

By the way, the switch they installed for the lights has four settings: (1) Light bars underneath dash on, cupholder lights off; (2) Both bars and cupholder lights on; (3) Cupholder lights only on; and (4) Both off.

I've noticed that the cupholder lights often (perhaps always) fail to come on immediately. They seem to come on at some random time after I have started driving, and then seem to sporadically go on and off.

This doesn't seem normal to me. Has anyone else experienced similar problems, or should I take it back to the dealer?

Thanks.

If I knew how to wire something to the cupholders, I wouldn't have paid the dealer to do it.

Well, I'm not totally brainless when it comes to wiring in general, but I wouldn't know what to do for something like this...

yah that doesnt seem normal at all, one of the wires is probably loose, so yah just bring it back and see whats up,

*sidenote* congrats on getting your car back, how do you like the kit, other than the cupholders?

Thanks -- I was glad to get the car back and see everything I had already paid for. I like the kit a lot -- it's very understated, very tasteful. In combination with the "ambient lighting" on the auto-dimming mirror (which is barely visible, even at night, but which reflects nicely off some of the console surfaces), it's a pretty cool look for the interior.

Also, the window tint is pretty tight...although the driver's side window crinkles slightly when I put it down.
