Wow you guys that say you never noticed it before you didn't ever wonder why your center console was glowing orange? lol I love the ambient light lots of newer cars have them. My buddy in his 08 wishes he had one.

I need a "C6 AL" badge so that everyone will know that I have a model year with the ambient light.

My '92 has a similar set up only the light comes from the rear view mirror.

I think it's a nice touch . . . classy.

That has also been subject of many posts. I like the light, it lights up my coffee cup for my early morning drives.
