    The wiring isn't there either. You're asking for a lot of work, and possibly a lot of problems trying to add it yourself.

    Best bet, invest in a rearview mirror with map lights on it, they are a cinch to wire in and will be a much wiser move than trying to cut a hole in the headliner, get all the parts, get all the wiring, etc.

    You can also wire in a rearview w/ map lights to the dimming circuit to keep a light left on from staying on. It'll take some creativity and patience, but it can surely be done.

                I have map lights in my SE V6... I even have illuminated visors, which apparently according to the Pontiac website also not available in US.

                I guess it was a new thing.

                  wow that would suck not to have map lights, here i was thinking it would be horrible not to have the climate control.

                      You get map lights and illuminated driver side visor mirror on the same trim level Malibu but not on the G6. I can't figure out GM's logic sometimes. Map lights are inexpensive and so common these days it should be standard equipment across the board.

                        true but it makes it sound like the upgraded models get alot more. Just a selling tactic. They didn't really have a whol;e lot of choices to begin with.

                          Well at least make them optional...

                          Just like the fog lamps. Why on earth I can't get foglamps on a 4-cylinder G6, or a non-LTZ Malibu?
