Bulb in the ashtray

[Panta Rhei]

Yes hello.
Am I missing somekind of socket for the bulb? Can you give me OEM part number for ashtray bulb?

One of these possibly?

No, it's not those.

I believe it is an LED that shines through some Perspex in the ashtray. Why you'd want to illuminate fag ash is beyond me though.

Because it annoys me that something's supposed to be there, and it is not.

Do you have the mirror light? The one that shines down on the gear stick from your mirror.
This should illuminate the ashtray and maybe thats why you don't have the bulb.
I'll check mine tonight when it's dark.
