rear view mirror has orange light on the bottom?
« on: 02 January 2009, 13:16:50 »
...as the title,  points directly down at the head unit area. Why? What for?
Only had the car 7months and never noticed until i pointed at something out to the left, to passengers, and my hand went orange...?

It's just soft lighting for the centre consol area :)

Funny that - I did exactly the same thing when driving at christmas and just noticed the light then.

No idea what it's for - some nice 'soft' interior lighting?  :-?

i guess its only on facelift elites??

did discuss the soft lighting thing with said passengers, some of whome have owned vw/audis with similar lights which are fairly obvious as i remember asking what they where for.

Omega version seems so "soft" it took me 7 months to notice i even had it   ::)

There's a supplement leaflet with my Owners manual that talks about

"Automatic-regulated centre console lighting"

"Spot light in housing for interior mirror" " Light-sensitive automatic control of centre console lighting when ignition is on"

I guess it must be this. I retro fitted an auto dipping mirror from a facelift Elite and it doesn't have it. Leaflet is dated Jan 2002 so maybe Elites after this date?
