Consumer Description
THIS REPORTED ISSUE IS NOT SPECIFIC TO MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD, BUT APPLIES TO MANY VEHICLES. ON ALMOST A WEEKLY BASIS, I SEE PEOPLE DRIVING THEIR CARS AT NIGHT ON FREEWAYS AND CITY STREETS WITHOUT THEIR LIGHTS ON, POSING A DANGER TO OTHER MOTORISTS WHO MIGHT NOT SEE THEM. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THIS CAN BE SOLVED SIMPLY: CHANGE THE LIGHT SWITCH TO NOT ILLUMINATE THE DASHBOARD UNLESS THE LIGHTS ARE ON. MY CAR ALWAYS HAS ITS DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LIGHTS ARE ON OR NOT. THERE IS A SMALL "IDIOT LIGHT" OF A GREEN HEADLIGHT WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, BUT IT HARDLY NOTICEABLE. IF INSTEAD THE CAR'S DASHBOARD WOULD BE DARK WHEN THE LIGHTS AREN'T ON (LIKE IN 25+ YEAR-OLD CARS), I BELIEVE MOST DRIVERS WOULD BE MUCH LESS LIKELY TO FORGET TO TURN THEIR LIGHTS ON -- DO YOU AGREE? *TR
