The previous owner of my '89 Westy went a little light-happy, installing an
aftermarket light directly over the sliding door (roughly opposite the stock
one), another directly behind the passenger seat, pointing forward toward
the front, and a third on the passenger side a bit further behind the
sliding door (over the sofabed).  I have never used the one over the
sofabed, although my wife/co-pilot find the one pointing towards her seat
useful when reading maps, etc.  But the one over the sliding door has proven
invaluable.  I can't count how many times I've used it when going into the
side door to grab something at night. It's great having a light right there
when you open the door.  I never thought of wanting a light there when I had
a Westy with the stock interior light setup, but now that I have it, I can
definately say that when I upgrade to my "dream" Syncro Westy, I'll put one
there myself.
