It's either broken off or simply needs to be "plugged in".

Seems like there is only one part number for each of the door looms on all cars, so yeah, if you don't have illuminated door handles, this LED will simply shine inside the door cavity.

The LED on the end of the wiring loom has a small plastic latch assembly around it the plugs into the "light pipe" assembly on the back of the door handle cup.



You can see the LED in this door loom image, taped to the loom in the lower centre of the image: -



Here's a view of the LED pulled away from the loom: -



It's very fiddley and can be a pest to unplug/plug back in when removing/re-installing a door card.
