My cup holders do not light up when driving at night. They only light up when the door is open and the inside lights are on. Is that normal, or another software glitch?

That's how mine work too. [hr]

I think it was a deliberate choice to prevent distracting the driver.

Hehe... that made me laugh.

I get a headache driving at night because of all of the glare from the bright dash and command center screens, which, by the way, don't auto-dim for night driving.

The console dimming function not working is a bug and should be fixed, but do you really think that the Fisker design team opted to save $1 / steering wheel by getting the non-lit version or that they forgot about this entirely? Unlike some of the other parts of the Fisker, the steering wheel is (most likely) bespoke and it was specified without illumination for a specific reason. We may not agree with the reason, but there was a reason.

Fisker engineers opt not to have the switch's light up it wasn't an over site I posed that questions to the support team I deal with .It may be a production change on the model change of the Karma and from what I understand the Karma's being built now or the ones on the road Can't be retrofitted I thought about taking off the steering wheel and looking at the switches to see if the had bulbs and sockets all ready in them I was told don't bother .

The switches look damn similar to the ones GM uses in the Cadillacs, which IIRC do light up. However if there is no illumination circuit, then there is no light. a retrofit will most likely require a new circuit to be added, as well as a new column airbag harness.

You hit the nail on the head including who made the switches one of the first things I did when I found out they didn't light up i was looking into a way to make them light up . Engineers told me don't bother that the switches have no holes in them for the lights then you also have to consider how to run wires which can only be done using the SRS contact reel way to much work .
