Abstract

Bimodal illumination for vehicular storage compartment utilizes two or more light sources for illuminating the storage compartment, a removable divider to establish two or more sub-compartments when the divider is inserted into the storage compartment, and a switch for selectively turning on and off one or more of the light sources. The switch is opened and closed by the presence of the removable divider in the storage compartment.
