Yeah, that's BS, I would have though that a sunroof option would provide a modified map light and dome near a cealing control panel? Where do you toggle the sunroof.. is it on the cab cealing, dash, door?

On a side note, I drove home in tactical mode this evening. I had no problem driving and viewing my left and right mirrors. In addition I had visibility in the cab to see anything from the console to the floor.

Anyways... why go red? ... BTW, I married an Eye Doctor, she can confirm..

I'm curious about the importance of red displays and dark adaptation, so
I looked around, couldn't find anything written (I'm sure there is
someplace, though)

Dark Adaptation and Red Displays

Vision involves both scotopic (night vision:rods) and photopic (day
vision: cones) perception. The eye relies primarily on the rods for
night vision. These rods achieve their last fraction of dark adaptation
entirely through chemical saturation with rhodopsin over a duration of 30
minutes. Dark adaptation painstakingly achieved can be destroyed in
seconds by the light stimulating the rods. Red light is alleged to
protect the dark adaptation of the rods by stimulating only one type of
cone (long-wavelength color perception).

The low-cost, mass-produced Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) used as
astronomical equipment light sources are made of gallium arsenide
phosphide (GaAsP) on a gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate using a
vapor-phase epitaxy process. They emit visible red light at a wavelength
at about 6480 Angstroms. Changing the ratio of arsenic to phosphorous
and the introduction of nitrogen dopants cause the emission of
yellow-green light at about 5850 Angstroms.
