Ambient lighting- R53 Cooper S

[AARONM3]

I've just bought a 55 plate Cooper S and my friend who has the same model keeps banging on about these 'submarine style lights' that bathe his interior in a warm red/orange glow of an evening.

Now, I don't believe I have them but seem to be having trouble tracking down specific mention/pics of them. I've shown him a pic of the main light housing in the roof directly above the centre console and he reckons that the tiny holes next to the main lights house LEDs??

So am I missing something obvious or is it possible I don't have them fitted to mine? It's an October 2005 build.

Thanks- but this chap isn't a 'modder'- he just seems to have some additional lights by the map lights in the tiny holes, perhaps it was the previous owner then but then it was a nearly new car when he bought it through the approved scheme and nothing else about it points at being owned by someone that way inclined. Perhaps just a highly obscure option!

Yup, well silly me- I've only had the car a few days but starting it up tonight I see the lights he was on about! TBH the way he described the effect was far more noticeable than a bit of orange light on the centre console and more like something from a submarine!
