Floor lights
 
I tried searching for previous threads on this, but I don't even know what to call it to look for it.

My '02 P5 has a red light that shines on my feet and pedals when the headlamps/markers are on. Why in the world does the car have this feature? I can't follow the logic. I know where the three pedals are, I know my shoes and socks match.

More annoying is that the bulb is right by my steering column and shines in my eyes when I make a sharp turn with the wheel.

I think there's one on the passenger side as well, but I've only been able to make it work once or twice before. Faulty wiring perhaps, that I haven't had a moment to look into.

Not sure why, but i'm almost positive the lights (like your aftermarket moonroof) were added by a previous owner.

Yeah, i don't think mazda would put red lights on the pedals, it was probably somebody's cheap attempt at neons.

I don't have any lights in mine!

Well, they're not on the pedals, the light just shines on them, and the rest of the floorspace around my feet.

Sunroof definitely was a dealer-commissioned mod. Maybe this is too? Either way, it's a really strange mod. I can't find any amateur, tucked-away, taped-back wiring to prove if it was done by a professional or a bored owner on a Saturday morning.

Must be you. No such gripe on ride.
