Default Quick question...

Are the red lenses on the insides of the doors supposed to light up when the doors are open, or are they just reflectors?

TIA!

Most likely required by law as a safety feature, so other cars can see that your door is open on a dark road.

reflectors they do nothing unless you have your door open at night and another car comes by and their lights shine on them.But i am sure that someone on the forum has worked them out so they do light up when you open the doors since we have so many people on the forum that can do most anything their are very talented people on this forum.
