dome lights

Car's interior lights

Dome lights are the interior ceiling lights in a vehicle, typically activated when a door opens or by a manual switch.

They provide general illumination for entering, exiting, or finding items inside the car at night.

I left the dome light on and drained my battery.

The name comes from their rounded, dome-shaped covers, though modern designs may be flat or recessed.
