I've always flown with SEL light OFF - my company has recently changed to SEL light ON - going to cause some problems imho.
SEL light OFF is SOP. FO reaches around the thrust levers to operate the Capt’s RMP to tune VHF1/HF1.

Yes. T/O light ON when landing clearance received. (Runway turn off light ON when approach clearance received)(ironically, Landing lights ON when takeoff clearance received. So Ldg light means cleared for takeoff, T/O light means cleared to land!)
Just about everyone uses the above system but to clarify it’s not actually in the 320 SOP’s. More along the lines of an airmanship thing something passed down from Captains or trainers.
