Question interior dome and rear lights

I know this sounds like a very stupid question and I still cant seem to figure out the problem or even if the LS430 is capable of this.

I want to turn on all the interior lights of the car while I am in the drivers seat? I am only able to turn on the front dome light and the front reading lights by reaching up and pressing the two reading light buttons and sliding the switch to the on position for the dome light. Now sometimes I leave things in my back seat and I like to reach around and grab them but its annoying without having light back there especially with dark tint. How do I get them all on at the same time. Every single car I have ever owned has been able to do this usually its the dimmer switch for the dash turned all the way in one direction till it clicks. I have done this with the LS but to no avail. I don't know what to do

I dont think there's a way to do what you're saying. Kinda bugged me too for a while. Did you read the owners manual for any ideas? I sure didnt for this situation. You could always wire in an aftermarket switch or wire in the rear lights to the front dome switch if its really bugging you.

Joking aside, how much light do you need to find something in the back? It's not like the front lights don't illuminate *any* in the rear.

I keep one of these in my glovebox. 40 million candlepower.
