Does the glare bother you too!!

I think it looks cool at night with interior lights turned down real low. It's really hard to see it in the daylight.

It's hardly even noticeable in the dark. It shouldn't be a problem.

I thought that you were going to say that the light was on and nobody was home!

I think it is more for the ashtray so that you can see it at night.

No, it is always one. Why it comes on during the day is a mystery, but that is the way it was designed.
