Illuminated Ignition Switch?

[c-fors]

Does anyone understand what "Illuminated Ignition Switch", listed on Honda's site as an Interior Instrumentation specification is describing?
My car does not appear to be equipped with such a feature, unless I consider the dome light "illuminating" the ignition switch briefly when the unlock button is pressed on the remote transmitter. Could Honda be that cheesy?

Mine is not illuminated, and I seriously doubt they mean the dome light. Don't know if this feature was on the '02 or not, and there is nothing in my owner's manual about it that I can find. Says standard on the '06

No illuminated ignition switch mentioned in the 2006 owners manual.

Thanks Bill, that's what started me thinking. Honda says standard and
my three week old 2006 has no such thing. I guess this isn't a major issue, but I was looking forward to that feature. I am enjoying this car so much I would probably be willing to overlook headlights that didn't illuminate.

I thought it was kind of funny myself that the Insight doesn't have an ignition illuminator of some kind.

My '94 4runner does, and its 6 years older than the Insight!

I was thinking about rigging something up but I think it might be hard to rig up the wiring to behave correctly... Anyone have any ideas?

Hmmm, I often considered doing an ignition mod. Shouldn't be to hard to find an S2000 ignition illuminator and modify it for us, just expensive!
