EODB - perhaps this may help.

In the "Electricity" section I have:

"Special lighting - Without particular light"

All the lights seem to be there, so makes me wonder which particular light I am without :?
Remember - it only takes a few inches of water to drown a 406 don't make the same mistake I made! The V6 Exec is no more.

If memory serves, the 'particular' light is the map-reading light

That would be the cluster of lights around the sunroof controls - got those.

So there must be some other particular light I am missing :!:

Maybe it's the optional light on the sun visor?

I dunno what the problem is, my car's got three of them, as well as an ashtray full warning light and the advance mosquito warning system :P

Just reading the listing.

Interior equipment -> Misc. int. lamps ... MAP READING LAMP
Interior equipment -> Courtesy mirror ... DRIVER'S + PASENGER'S CONCEALABLE WITH LIGHT

The odd one is this:

Interior equipment -> Handbrake warning lamp ... WITHOUT PARKING BREAK INDICATOR.

Odd because I have the red light on the dash and the warning on the MFD if I "forget" to disengage the brake.

The main one and the one that can be aimed left/right?

Other lights I can think of:
eye-level brakelight
glovebox light
alarm light
rear overhead light (do you get those on saloons?)
boot light
door card lights
ashtray light
