Maybe its only on the lux model. My 06 has one on the passenger side, and I haven't checked driver side. My wife just commented on how she liked the fact that it was a dimmer light as opposed to some high powered halogen blinding you. Thats the only way I knew I had one.

Only one thing huh?
Well...

I like everything about the truck as is.
But the 'Guage Cluster Dimmer/ Courtesy Light Switch', to adjust the brightness, needs to be changed from a wheel type switch to a push button on & off. Similar to the courtesy lights 'bypass switch' under the main veh lights switch, and the fog lamps switch.

Default Re: If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)

well myself heres what i would like to see done
*better located window buttons (as ive said before)
l*ight in the back seat
*handle above the driver side of the roof
*and no attena sticking out of the car
*and instead of backseat that doesnt fold down all the way id have it so it fold down flat

Nothing that big that anyone can live without, but it would just make the car a tad more convineant/nicer

Got to go with a overdrive trany option. No matter what is tryed cant get beyond the 18 mpg barrier. OD gear is needed for highway mpg goals. Not complaining but will trade my 06 when GM does it...

The 4-speed in your H3 is an overdrive trans. Fourth gear is 0.696:1

See, I just saved you some money.

From my wife and me, ergo two things:

1. Grab handles on the A pillars like the H2.
2. Relocate those friggin' seat controls! What lame brain came up with that placement!

Ummmmm.... is this really true? You mean we should be driving around town in 3rd? And using "D" only on the highway?

Perhaps that is why my mileage is so shatty! And to think that I thought it was because I drove it like it is stolen all the time

Default Re: If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)

damn only one! It's tough but I would say either of these two would sufice.

1:make the seats higher from the floor board feels too much like a sportscar and a bit uncomfortable on long trips.

2: dump that 60:40 folding seat crap.

Fold-flat reat seats, way more comfortable backseats, more storage space, a dark tinted moonroof, less wind noise, better back speakers on the monsoon, front end level without a t-bar adjustment, better brakes so you don't fly foward when you stop, and much brighter headlights. Honestly almost everything about the interior I hate on the H3, the comfort, the storage space, and the lack of tech offerings. I do however like the balck, aspault like look... I feel like I could never damage anything even if I tried.

6-speed manual transmission, where 5th gear is 1:1 and 6th is overdrive. The manual gear spacing is adequate in 4hi. But there's too much space between gears in 4lo with the 4:1 ratio.

If only one I'd choose a bigger rear window top to bottom.

Overall I'd like for the rear wiper to go all the way across, and the rear seats to fold flat.

1. Removable rear seat headrests - This would definitely help with the rear seat folding flat thus providing even better cargo space.

1. More computer readouts - trip information, gas mileage, distance, etc.

I'm sure there are more items that I'd like to see changed, but for the most part I still love my H3!

Be able to lock the doors from the rear cargo area with a switch like you can in other SUV's.

i agree with bigbill, more computer readouts - trip information, gas mileage, distance, etc.

...and strobe lights and disco balls. Hell, turn the inside of the H3 into a rave.

BTW, welcome to the nuthouse.
