Anyone know how to do this? I turned off the lights with the side switch but when you open the door, the door illumination lights and some others will still turn on. I need to be able to do this for a night photography shot.

I cant figure out how to turn mine off either.If there is a way I'd like to know.This is the 1st car in a long time that doesn't easily stay off.Years ago I used to remove the bulbs.

By "door illumination lights" are you referencing the ones by the handles, the ambient lighting? That's in the settings menu of your info display, around where you can choose the color settings you can set it to "off".

Would disconnecting the battery help with whatever you're trying to do?

Pull the fuse.
Isn't there a little switch in the door?

ah, the old "lights turned on when you opened the door".


you could pull a fuse. what activity is requiring lights off door openage, are you a cop?

Did you not even read the first post?

It would, but maybe the fuse route would be better? I just wished there was a button that maybe I don't know about somewhere.

User 92421

yes, yes I did and I chose to ask you the dumb question anyway.

Has anyone considered adding a toggle switch to the door switch.

The switch would break the 'switched' wire if the door switch closes the circuit when the door is open. The toggle switch would be left <Off> to keep lights off.

If the door switch opens when the door opens, the toggle switch would tap into the switched wire (without breaking it). The other side of the toggle would probably tie to ground. Would have to see the wiring diagram to confirm. The toggle switch would be in <On> position to keep lights off.

None of the above considers what fooling the controls would do to systems effected by the door switch. I would thing that it would be okay for the controls to think the door is closed when it's actually open.
