I noticed this after i bought the R/T and i didn't know if it was something that was so small and pointless that no one talked about. But i think its awesome.

The hole in the CD Tray/CD Changer Bezel... sits a light. I didn't know if this was something that was standard on the R/T models because i know i didn't have it on my 01 SE. I'm not really sure what to call it... maybe a 'Beverage Light'. The light was to dim to get a pic of it shining on my center console, but you can notice this when your in the car.

I'm sorry for the crappy pics... It was at close range w/ my camera.

i had that on my '00 ES. well, i guess i still have it...it's just covered with fiberglass now (well, the hole is...i took the light out). but yea, it is kinda neat that they decided to light those two lower cup holders.

btw, this topic is rly random!

mines got that little hole there too, but no light unfortunately, might have to build one into there lol.

i had no idea a light goes there.

I put one of those super super bright LEDs in that spot. Thats funny that one is supposed to go there anyway.

Ya I got one. I got a normal 2000. I got all the goodies like that. Hood light, trunk carpet, lighted cup holders, lighted window switches. All the goodies.

I have the hole for it on my 04, but I don't have the light.

I got lights on the front doors handles on my 2000 ES.

!? What I must see a pic. Now your not talking about the unlock switch are you?

My 2000 ES had that light. It was the first Neon I'd seen with it when I first got the car. None of the other 4 2gn's my family had had had them. (see if you can keep up with the "had's") I actually removed the light, but used the wiring available right there to install some LED shot lights down low on the center console by the seats, pointing into the footwells.

Can you post some pics of your car. You have some crazy things on it that were never factory options.

exactly

i have that light where the little hole is. i found one at the jy and installed it.

I have that little light for the cup holders,well did but wired up 2 blue led bars for the passenger and driver side foot wells off of that wire and the light dosen't seem to work now and also my window and door lock switches and power mirror switch have the little green lights in them also.

DCX dropped the cupholder light after the '01 model year (yes, more de-contenting to keep the MSRP down). I would really like to add that to my SRT (I've already talked with my mechanic about how to go about installing it).

Its an led. Not like you have to incorperate 42 mexican midgets in your car with no one noticing. Thins is less than 5mm and pulls miliamps of power. Trust me. Ain't a tuffy.

lol it would prolly cost DCX all of $1

its not an led, its just a regular bulb. to hook up that little light is find a ground and find an orange wire to connect to.

Well then they are dumb for not using an led. And still it is simple to instal. You don't need to talk to a mechanic to get it done. Trust me I am sure you can handle it.

we are not driving a bmw.

ok, seems like most 2nd gen have the hole, but no light..
the real question....

for those without the light, but have the hole... is there wiring in that thar hole?...so's we can just add one and have the wiring there to attach it to?

If we turn to page 8L-29 in the '02 FSM it shows "Cup Holder Lamp" as well as on 8W-91-20 it lists "Center Stack Lamp" wiring but upon further inspection on my car, no such wiring can be found hidden.

no wiring. you have to feed your own wire. like i said 2 posts up, to hook up that little light is find a ground and find an orange wire to connect to. also, the part number for that smal light esembly is 4608669AA

2000 LE has the light. and a glove box light. and vanity mirrors

Same as me ^, how many people have a glove box trunk switch, leather seats, leather shift knob, leather console cover and leather door panels, oh and wood grain hvac surround and door inserts??

I didn't know they had the wood grain in Canada. Do you also have the wood grain on the door panels or just all leather?

There is woodgrain on the lower part of the door inserts.

times how many 2gn's produced?
Thats why some corners are cut, look at the passenger door handle lock cylinder. They deleted it, that saved them how many $'s per vehicle produced...
