There's a light in my ashtray!!

[14N]

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)

I think you're on your own with this one

 

In the facelift the cup holders illuminate as well

Lucky you, I don't have an ashtray

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:

Bloody old humbug

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?...

Just cos you're on the lower tax bracket too

[marzman]

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?

I think it's only the drivers side that got the rubber pad for the bottle holder in the door.

[JEMAN]

Fag tray light is on mine, but who wants to light up a fag in the car ? lol

[Keyser]

I have a light in mine ....... but what's much better is the little Blue "fun" light in the dash (don't look for it I have the only one I'm aware of)

 

But when it's on the occupants of the car tend to giggle uncontrollably!!!!!!

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!

[Watshot]

Or you could read posts 17 & 20 whereby we have established that it only comes on the drivers side... :wink:

[Z-monster]

I prefer to believe that there's a pad stealer...

I have padded cupholder inserts in both doors on my '06 model.
