Question Interior Lighting

I just noticed last night that when my door opens, the only lights on in the car are the center light on the ceiling, and the two lights on the underside of the door. Are there supposed to be footwell lights in a 1998, and what about the brighter light above the center console? Shouldn't it be coming on, too?

Sounds like all of your entry lights are working as they should! No footwell lights on a 98 and the front map lights only come on when you push the button to turn them on.

Maybe because it's a fairly poor quality pic that does not show many details.
