Overhead controls are impossible to see for the portion of the driving public wearing bi-focals. Some are intuitive and no labels or identifiers are necessary; such as sun roof button, push button next to light, etc., and an overhead location is a necessity
But I have been in rental mini-vans where there are 6 or more identical finger tip sized buttons aranged in a neat row, with someone's idea of an international symbol for intended use on each button! They cannot be I.D.'ed when wearing bi-focals, nor can they be I.D.'s by anyone in dim lighting situations, and there are too many to memorize unless that is your primary vehicle.
White lettering on a black background is also bad as I get older, and gray/silver lettering on black is even worse!
