Default Orange light by passenger visor

There is a little orange light that comes on at times by the passenger visor. Does anyone know what it means and why it does that?

Its a small light that gives a subtle beam of light when driving at night. BMW has this in its cars.

I have OnStar on my C6 and I also have that subtle little orange light under the passenger's sunvisor(not over where the console is), but on the passenger's side of the car.
I don't know what it is either, unless it has to do with OnStar.

But at night the light shines down on the general area where the gear shift **** is, right? If so, that's what it's for, to light up that area. I don't think there's another light in that area just for OnStar. I have OnStar and there's just the one extra light in my car, besides the two "reading" lights on the bottom of the rear-view mirror.

If it's what I'm thinking it is, the C4 has it as well. A dull orange glow to illuminate the center console/shift ****.
