Default Interior lighting question

I'm driving my LS home tonight and open the tray that slides open under the radio/nav and notice it looks extra dark. Is my memory failing? I remember that tray being lighted...or I think I do. I checked the manual, but could not find anything, and I looked for a light in the tray, and could not find a bulb. I sort of remember it being lit from behind though. Can someone check. I hope I'm not going crazy.

Can anyone go in their car at night at check if the Aux storage under the CD changer is lit when open?

Thanks,

Sam

Sam - I checked mine. No light in that compartment. I think that was the about the 4th time I've opened mine. I can't really figure out what to put in there!

you mean the Ash tray?..I use it as a coin holder, but the problem is that the thing is soooo deep that any coin that gets stuck under or passed the rubber piece is pretty much gone!

Perfect for storing dental floss, pocket packs of tissue and sunglass cleaning cloth.

I always thought of it as an ashtray as I use my ashtray to put my cell phone in while using the lighter to charge it.

I use it all the time because my Palm fits perfectly. We have one person saying no light during the night...any other takers? I don't know why it wouldn't be since every other compartment at night ,including the small coin holder no one uses to the left of the steering wheel, has a small light.

I'm pretty confident that there is a light in there. I use this tray for my MP3 player and cell phone. This is the compartment that slides out...
