Abstract
An engine switch for selectively starting and stopping an engine and an LED for irradiating the engine switch are located in a passenger compartment of a vehicle. When a vehicular lighting device, such as a headlight, is switched from an on state to an off state, the LED is lighted up. Therefore, even if the passenger compartment is dark, the position of the engine switch is easily found.
