14N Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 OK OK, bit of a random pointless post, but I just needed to share my delight at the discovery of finding my ashtray is illuminated Opened the ashtray last night to put something in it and was greeted by a blinding beacon of light (slight exageration). Had my car 9 months now and she's still surprising me . Come on, who else didn't know the ashtray had a light in it? Or am I the only one? (Awaits comments/questions asking if I knew the windows were electric, seats were adjustable etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14N Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 mine is due this month so don't rub it in!! Sorry mate Go pay cash for your tax and put the change in your ashtray. Then, when it's dark, go buy a take-away coffee with the change in your ashtray, marvel at the light you're greeted with when you open it and then enjoy the warm smug feeling you get when you open the cup holder and your hand is illuminated by the guiding light that appears, knowing that us pre-facelifters have to fumble around in the dark for our cups. Much like the same guiding light that led three wise men all those years ago.... (See how I turned that festive?). Do you feel better now Ian? :smile: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bockaaarck Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I'll have to check mine out, can't remember if it has a light. As I looked at the title of your thread I also have a strange 80's pop related urge to say "you may have a light in your ashtray but I have a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna do?...

marzman Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Do you have footwell lights too? I've got them and they're controlled by a little button in the cubby behind the heated seats buttons... not sure if they're another rare JDM option or not?

One of mine is missing, too, which also happens to be the passenger side... maybe the passenger side doesn't have one...or there's a passenger-side-faux-leather-cupholder-padding-stealer about!
