Small thing I noticed

Not sure if anyone else has spotted this, in the back, there are two map reading lights, one on each side, they must have been trying to save money and only used a one sided light fitting, as one is upside down to the other, i.e. the switch operates in the opposite manner.

Also, these lights do not seem to come on with the rest of the courtesy lights, is that just me? L319 D4 HSE

Same here (US-spec RRS), the two rear map lights are the same but inverted. They do not turn on with the rest of the courtesy lights, as the manual states as well. My dealer was joking that these are some of the "little things" that were left off the RRS but are standard in the big Range Rover (things such as these, or one courtesy light - rather than two - in the trunk area, or manual tilt/telescoping steering instead of power), otherwise "it would be much harder to justify the higher price of the RR"... Confused

thats strange, my RRS that I picked up this past Saturday has two reading maps oriented the same way with the switch being closer to the rear doors (left on pass side, and right on drivers side)

I will re-confirm today on my way home from work today.

The switches point to the same directions on each side, but they work in opposite ways. I know it is nitpicking, but you can see the cost cutting... What would it take to flip the switch around so they work the same way on both sides? I also think these map lights should turn on with the rest of the courtesy lights, it is awfully dark back there with just the puddle light on the doors.

Ah... I see... Got it... jeez that IS picky.. j/k

I agree that the rear is super dim. Thats the first thing my fiance noticed when we picked up the vehicle.

I know im beating this to death, but IVE GOT to get someone to check out the headlights... I'm obsessively worried now that its not right.
