What is the red light near moonroof button?

[vanscamps]

Picked up Sport Touring HB tonight. Watched almost every video on YouTube on the HB. Haven't noticed or think it's been mentioned. There's a red light between the driver and passenger over head light and moonroof switch.

It shines a small amount of red light onto the centre console at night for visibiity - only works when headlights are on

Oh wow, didn't know the Sports got red, others have a Small blue LED there.

I'll have to take a look at this again tonight. Can't imagine it produces that much light for the console, if any. Thanks!

It creates more light on older civics and accords.. Well technically.. It just looks that way.. Ours is being dimmed out by the white light in the pocket

Aussie RS models have a red light, matches the red tacho/speedo background

Correct any models with red gauges get red light.
So rs versions
Hb sport
Sport touring
Upcoming si
Upcoming ctr.

Accords do it a little different.
On sedans the sport get it. Rest blue
On coupes all of them get it. Although might be gone altogether in the lx/lx-p variants

Put your finger over it, then take your finger off over and over. You'll be surprised how much light it actually creates.

Stumbled upon this post and glad I did! I was paranoid my moon roof wasn't fully closing

Huh? Wait what? Are you saying that you thought that was a indicator for the moonroof? Lol

Yeah I had no idea what it was for and thought maybe it was an indicator for the moonroof since it was near the switch. I've never really driven a higher trim level so all this fancy stuff is new to me.

Haha. Hondas been putting that light at this point on every vehicle.. No matter the trim.. Had a red one in my 8th gen civic.. My 09 accord also had one.. Then i got the same exact accord in 2012 after the refrsh and it was gone.. Also the engine cover was gone and accessory tray was gone.. All cost savings i assumed so they could add the bluetooth at the same price.. Then 2013 same trim and it was back..
