Light on door compartment
I noticed there's a clear rod (similar to the corona ring material) on top of my door compartments. Are they supposed to be lights?

Well, they're not lighting up...if they are even lights... Anyone know what they're called?

Thanks!

They do light up dimly at night, its to illuminate the door pocket area at night.
Could be part of a light package, mine has it.

Found out the name of it. "Door compartment light" :duh: I noticed it when I was wrapping my door inserts. Was wondering what wire and light it was for...
