Sonata GLS 2.4L

The interior dome lights come on during hard turns. Like a G-force sensor. It got worse when I upgraded my tires and wheels. They hug the road better and the dome light lets me know I have more g forces in the turns. Kinda freaky at night, when all of a sudden the lights come on. I've gotten used to it.
