I drive a 1991 GTA which has a decent amount of interior lights. I was wondering if all third gen birds shared my lighting options and if the Camaros did too.
Basically, I have the lighted rear view mirror which has driver/passenger reading lights. It also has a small light that shines down onto my center console which is always on when the headlights are on.
I also have a little amber colored light that is above my HVAC controls. Bascially, it shines down towards the HVAC controls and ash tray area.
So, what other F-bods have these lighting schemes?

I have lights near the kick panels in the front, the 2 map lights on the mirror, one dome light, one light that shines on the dimmer switch and headlight switch, and the light over the hvac controls.
I want to add some lights in the back seat area so that I can see back there when it's dark.

Ok let me think here. I have the mirror lights, and the light for the headlight switch. There is also a set of lights in both of my rear sailpanels. This is a convertible though. The lights in the back seat are just below the little armrests. They have the same lenses as the trunk light.
If I remember correctly this is the same as the light that was in my 92RS in the cargo area. These put out a lot of light. They light up the whole interior when they are on. They only come on when the round switch is turned on. They stay off if I turn on the mirror lights. I'm also assuming they use the same bulbs as the cargo area lights.

All I have is the top light on the t bar and a light by each door.

I've got one at each kick panel, two on the overhead console (dome light & map light). I bought a 4th-gen mirror with the reading lamps to lighten it up a bit. If I ever get around to it I was going to cut little notches in the door panel near the back so I have lights for the rear seats... I'd probably use a lense similar to the one in the hatch area.

On my 84 TA (which I just finished the entire interior) there is one light by each kick panel, a dome light.
NON courtesy: rear hatch area light (goes on when hatch is open or can be switched on), light for shifter position, 2 map lights L&R, AC light, ash tray light and glove box light. Plus of course all the dash lights and the rear defroster switch has a light that goes on when pressed.
Non stock: lighted cigarette lighter

Mine only came with a dome light, map lights, and a ashtray light that is mounted next to the map lights in the rear view mirror.

Jim 86 Bird, I believe he is talking about the 3rd light that is on the bottom of the rearview mirror. My 91 Firebird has it too also the bulb inside recently burnt. It's a looks like a little slot on the bottom of the mirror towards the inner passenger's side and projects light down onto the center console.
