>>>The headlight switch on that Skoda car was in the driver side door. In US, as far as I know, these switches are on or near the steering wheel. Otherwise, the car was very nice.

>I spoke with my wife about the rental car in Spain and she kind of backs up your contention that the headlights switch cannot be on the door. She says that we found this switch on the left-side below the steering wheel (where for two days we left early in the morning without having headlights on). But she also agrees with me that we did find another switch on the door that was unusual for us to see. But we cannot remember the purpose of the 'side-door' switch.

Ahem...

Those switches on the door serve to adjust, retract and defog the side rear view mirrors.

And for the headlights, if the dial was on Auto position then you didn't have to worry, the lights would be switched on as needed.
