Wth does this light mean?
I have never noticed this light. Today I had a 19" wheel in a box in the passenger seat and noticed the light hitting it.
The light is small and amber -it is right beside the latch for the passenger sun visor
Any ideas? It is right above my window mount phone holder in this photo

I have an 08 and noticed the light 2 months ago, I was told it's onstar tracking...it's always on even if you don't subscribe, this way in case of an emergency you can use onstar and be billed later...emergencies only.

It's in the owner's manual. Page 3-19 of the 2008 owner's manual.. What year is your C6?
An ambient light is located in the passenger sun visor
clip. This light stays on while driving to keep the
cabin from being too dark.

If you have an '07 you should have it. It's recessed in the small plastic clip that holds the passenger's visor in place. You can't really see it from the driving position although if you put your hand underneath it at night you can see the red-orange glow of its reflection.

From what I understand, '08 was the year they did away with the light about half way through the year. I vaguely remember someone posting that in the second half, all that was left was the depression.
You could check your vin to find out when yours was built during that year.
