courtesy lights

Car door lamps

Courtesy lights are the interior lights in a vehicle that turn on automatically when a door opens, illuminating the cabin for passengers entering or exiting.

They typically dim or shut off after the doors close or after a short delay.

The term extends to similar automatic lighting in elevators, closets, or other enclosed spaces.
