As you can see, Vegetation was created in Verse 11, Light was created in verse 3, so while I may have been confused about what you were asking, you were wrong in saying that vegetation was created before sunlight...

Yes, but it looks like the light was divided in verse 16, i.e., day 4. I take the the light to rule the day as the sun and that for the night the moon. No?

Verse 16: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day

According to these three verses, light and darkness were created on Day one, "And there was evening and there was morning-the first day". Perhaps God simply created light and darkness, on day one... Verse 5 says he called the light day, and the darkness he called night. So, one would suppose that God, while not creating the sun and moon on Day 1, did create light... Enough light to separate the day with light and darkness. So, there was light.
