It's probably for the heater control illumination.

This is what the ashtray light looks like.

Mine doesn't have AC but the light for my heater control doesn't look anything like the one for the ashtray.

Is there really a light for the heater controls? I thought there was a light for the ashtray only. I always wondered why the heat control panel wasn't illuminated at night. I'll need to take another look in there. My bulb must be blow.
