Technically it's part of a "package," I think, but virtually all of them have it.

This should be a bit larger...

The lights are eclipsed by cups.

Um...I dont want to kill anyone's buzz, but whats the big deal about these lights?

I mean, do you realize that the car has a method by which it connects to a grid of satellites in space, and by doing complex mathematics, calculates your (almost) exact location on earth?

Or, that it has a system by which it detects all the forces acting upon the car, and by its sheer knowledge of physics and human nature, effects a reaction which precludes a yaw rotation in excess of its own forward motion?

Or, that rather than use a filament, has glass chambers filled with gas which it passes a high voltage spark through, causing light to be created and focused out the front of the car so that we can see in front of us at night?

But you're concerned with a couple of light bulbs and a cup holder?

Yes, we are.
Mood lighting is very important, and just try to sit through a play lit only with flood lights.

I happen to like the nice litte details that some do not notice, like the lighted cupholders and the lighted door handles and the 3 small lights that illuminate the center console. Everyone has nav and that kind of stuff now, its the little things that make a big difference to me.

Great lights, but mine only reach out 40' (measured) and is unsafe at any speed over 30MPH.

Oh, ya, I like the little blue lights too. They help me find my keys at night.
