What are these little lites?

There are two tiny lights on each side of the sunroof switch. I think they only light when the outside lights are on, They're shown in several pictures in the owners manual but are never indentified. What are they, please?

Mike

Are you talking about the ambient lighting that dimly lights up the dash at night?

Yes, they could very well be just ambient lights, since they aren't bright enough to really illuminate anything. Although they do light up my fingertip when I hold it >< this far away from it.

I probably should have mentioned '07 G35x.....sorry 'bout that.

Thanks....

Hi Mike:

They're basically just to provide some interior light at night when the lights are on.

I think they make the interior look awesome at night, enough to give the dash and especially the brushed alum. trim a bit of glow.

That sounds rather dim. If you adjust the brightness of the illumination of your dash, that will adjust with it. IIRC you can adjust the gauges independently of the rest of the dash/ambient lighting.

Also known as "map lights" cuz they are just bright enough to make out what's on a map during nighttime without having to turn on all the interior lights.
