Default Ignition key light ?

Is there a light for the key ignition area? I can't see it at night!
Thanks Ed,

You'll get used to it...kind of like walking in your house at night when the power goes out...you know your way around pretty good.

Just thought of something! I'm going to use some white Glow Paint that I use on pistol sights around the small metal keyhole and see how that works.

I believe he was referring to the "hair folicle" mod that applies to any hard to find spot in the dark.

The follicle guidance system is old school...Its very hard to find it in todays day and age... as far as the light for the ignition... what is the matter with the under rear view mirror lights??? They send a lot of light directly to the ignition switch.

Funny thing : I just figured out what the heck I was doing, I'm putting the oversized sun shades up and it covers the rear view mirror lights and I'm starting the engine before removing the shades at night thus no light. And your right Evil-Twin there is mucho light!
