Turn on Dome Lights

1536 Views 8 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  Biaviian
Is there a way to turn on the dome lights by a switch rather than hitting the individual lights? My wife has a 2010 Forester and she can't reach the dome light in the rear (middle) of the car to turn it on as she is driving (to check on a crying baby). Surely there is another way but we haven't figured it out.

There isn't an OEM switch to do that.
What I would recommend is using a blank button spot to the left of the steering wheel to mount a switch. Have this switch operate the dome light. Tap into the fuse box that controls the dome light (if that fuse only operates that dome light) If that fuse operates more then that, run a wire to the + of the dome to the switch.
Just saying you could make something work :Banane36:
