Night light ???
I was driving along last night and noticed a yellow light coming down from the rear view mirror. Was wondering what this light is for.
This is not the two map lights.
Is there a way to turn it off?
Thanks

I totally dig it. First thing I noticed when I went for my first night drive.

I guess there's less need for it with an A4, but it still makes for some darn fine looking night photography... Bone stock sports car interiors don't get much sexier looking than this...

I have an aluminum shift pattern insert on the shift **** and the little yellow light sure makes it look good at night.

yep i really like mine. when i first got the car i thought there was a switch for it i just couldn't find! i love how you can see everything when you look that way but don't even notice it's there otherwise.
