Dome light surround

Ok, so quick question -- I've been staring at my domelight and the surround looks exactly like the one in the E-class that has backlighting for ambient light. I recall that our cars do not have indicator lights for the headlight switch, even though the place for the bulbs is there... I was wondering if this was a similar situation with this domelight panel - do some models have lights up there for ambient light?

Is it from the roof cluster/panel? If so, could you take a picture of it at night with the light? I'm curious...

^^^^^^^As nburbos said... if you put your finger below the rearview mirror to the driver's side you should find it easily.. it's like some sord of high intensity LED... and in the back there is another....

i dunno about your model but it looks like a Luxury, it should have all of the ambient lights... and they only come in one color... not like bmw where you can change them.. there are some in the door handles and the footwells.. they are lit @ night to create the ambient lightning effect

Thanks - I know about those, I was referring to the surround on the panel on the headliner... I'll post pictures of what I'm thinking/mean soon...
