Yes, its normal. The "mood lights" are one of the things I love about the car. Especially when you walk up to your car and it lights up

yes these stay on. Note that when you get in the car they are bright and when you start the car and put it in gear, they dim somewhat. This lighting is quite helpful when you drop something (ie. money) at night.

yep, this one stays on as well. It is to illuminate the console area at night.


just to let you know and I am not trying to sound snide, but both of your questions are covered in the owners manual.

I also got paranoid when I first got the car. I was just on the way back to New York from Atlanta, when it got dark and the lights came on.....lol I drove for the next 5 hours trying to figure out whats wrong with the car and how to turn off these lights. Anyways, it is normal. Dont worry about it

I like the "mood lights" while driving too... it is very subtle.

I switched that to white LEDs.. I think those bulbs and the one in the trunk were the only ones that didn't come with white LEDs in the car.

Its LED aready. I am not taking about the visor light. I am talking about the little single LED that is in front of the visor light. Flip your visor to the side and you will see it.
