Default Is there a way to turn on all interior lights?

There are times when I want to turn on all the interior lights - not just the overhead ones. For example, there doesn't seem to be a way to turn on the rear overhead lights, or the footwell ones.

Any I missing something? I can't to find find that information anywhere in the owner's manual.

+1. Regular logic would be in maxing out the dimmer switch for the gauges, but it only does that.

I have always looked for a way but have been unsuccessful. There is one work around, just flip the lock on you driver door handle (not the unlock button, but the lock itself), and the interior lights come alive. Conversely, when you lock it by hand, they dim out.

Only proves what I've thought a long time.. Lots of questions aren't covered in the Lexus
Manual. Just my 2 cents!

Thanks! That worked great when the engine in not running.

Have you found a way to turn them all on, when the engine is running?
