    when you say courtesy lights, what is it you refer to?

    a hz sandman should have the roof light as operated by the push switches in the doorframes, AND footwell lights mounted to the underside of the dash which come on / off with the roof light.

    next time im near my van ill grab a part number for the footwell lights

    i believe its the footwell lights that is the tell tale sign, as most models had the roof light, but it was only sandman level commercials and premier / stato that had the footwell lights.

    correct me if im wrong.

    haha i had a guy come to buy something once with his girlfriend and complained about an interior light he couldn't fix.
    should have seen the look on his face when i showed him the switch! pretty common nowdays i think...

    Switches in the door frames turn on the footwell lights & the light in the roof lining...

    I had never seen the footwell lights till I saw Rod and Jennies van! I have wb stato ones in my WB, but thought the earlier ones just had the roof light. Youngsters hey!

    I don't remember floor lights in Dad's new HZ Kingy when I was a kid... I thought they were bling in Prem's and Statos.
