Dome Light?

Tried a search & didn't find anything helpful
Does the R57 have any dome light, mine seems to only have front footwell lighting? I've tried long press on the footwell light switch until they turn back off, but that seems to do nothing.
There's a translucent panel just under the passenger airbag light, haven't tried to pull that & see if there's a bulb in there.

Would really be helpful to have some interior illumination at night.
Saw a 1st gen thread about adding a couple LEDs to the trim box over the back seat & may look into something like that as well [and maybe a couple side-mounted ones near the top of the side trim], but would need to find a door-activated power source as well.

Yes, a dome light.

The translucent panel is the dome light. Should come on when doors are opened. It also has a switch in the overhead panel. The second switch from the left. First switch on left is your reading light. You probably have a blown bulb.

Thanks, that's what I figured. My footwell lights come on with the overhead switch.
Couldn't find an obvious way to remove the lens to get to the bulb. Does it just pry off, or do you have to lower the whole overhead console?
