R8 Engine Bay Lights

[RikonLondon]

Anyone have any ideas how you turn the engine bay lights on? I would love to know how to have them on at night permanently or at least while the headlights are on a delayed switch off?

Interior light

Care to elaborate please? Does that mean the interior reading lights need to be on all the time?

Thank you for the links. However when I turn my overhead lights on the engine bay lights don't come on at all, even when the car is stationary and I have the overhead lights on AND headlights on.

Any suggestions guys?

If you put the interior lights on the engine bay lights SHOULD come on but they turn off by themselves after about 5 minutes so just click the interior light switch on and off again. If yours doesn't do this then I'm guessing something is wrong. Do they come on at all ie when you get out of the car.
Looks quite cool at night and if the interior light bugs you just stick something over it.......that's what I do anyway!
