Or you can just turn them off...

[Ice27]

Oh yeah...
That'd work too

No there is another bulb at the front that shines down on to the console

Obviously chewing gum is the best solution.

At the front of the binacle that the mirror is mounted to

That may well be so but I can assure you I'll got one in the middle, It's only a little one mind...

Have you got pictures?

I've only got the map lights (MY07) and I don't think I've ever seen a Vantage with a different set up.

Moreover I can't think why there'd be one?

I'll post a pic tomorrow but In my manual it can be seen on page 3.33

I'm sure this is the ambient light. I've seen it before so I assume it is an option.

Thanks Simon. Genuinely interested as mine doesn't have it (and there's only a reading light on that page in the manual).

I wonder if this is another MY change at some point...(MY07 here).

Interesting... my old XKR had an ambient light, was actually quite nice, very pale orange glow. Didn't know AM fitted them as an option.

Mine has the auto-dimming rear view mirror and no ambient light so perhaps they are exclusive of each other.

sorry cant seem to get it to display but if you click on the icon you should be able to see it

I've got the auto dim mirror as well
