Riding passenger the other day and happened to notice that the rear view mirror has a msall yellow LED light in addition to the 2 white reading lights. What is the function of this light - did not find it mentioned in the owners manual.

Simply illuminate the console area at night.

Redundant? It stays on all the time. Do you ride at night with your white mirror lights on?

Redundant? Yes. Have been driving for more than just a few years and have not needed an auxilliary light to work the dash. If I need to find something in the car, the little LED light does not really suffice.

I agree it's not the brightest light in the world, but more of an ambiance thing, or at least a subdued, unobtrusive light. It only shines straight down onto the console in the area of the cigarette lighter/cupholder, etc and I don't think it really designed to "find something" in the car.
