[Shotimes] Illuminated Keyhole Light

For grins I tested this tonight in the garage by turning the key to the accessory position.  What
I saw  that lit up was
o All of the window and door lock buttons
o Digital clock
o Remote for trunk mounted CD changer

If I turn the parking lights on, the following additional items light up
o EATC
o Radio
o Rear defroster
o Foglamp switch
o Autolamp and dimmer controls
o Instrument cluster

In addition, I should have also seen the redundant radio controls and the headlamp switch
illuminated too.  Did I miss anything?

Oh, and speaking of differences between the SLO and SHO, here are the optional indicators on the
instrument cluster.  This is from the owner's manual.
o Door Ajar Light
o Washer Fluid Low Light
o Check Engine Oil Light
o Low Fuel Light
o Lamp Out Indicator
o Low Coolant Light (SHO only)
