Convenient for finding coins in the cup holder at night.

I have been trying to figure this out for months! Definitely watching this thread.

It’s barely noticeable.

I think it is a nice touch. Very directional so not to effect night vision, but it allows me to find my bong when it is really dark.

A lot of new vehicles have this feature, it just provides a nice ambient light in the cupholder/shifter region. I quite like it, it's not obtrusive at all for me.

It doesn't bother me either, it just provides some low key ambient lighting which is common on most vehicles these days.

Every modern Toyota I’ve owned has had this type of light I believe.

That said a little piece of tape will get rid of it if it bothers you.

I am coming from a 2021 Tacoma Trd sport which didnt have it. I have just never seen one before. I don’t mind it much.

It may very well be new to the tacoma. I can't remember specifically if my 2nd gen had one. Pretty sure the f-150 had one, but more subtle. It just lights the cupholders a tad. Probably not necessary when there is a 14" display lighting up the night. lol

The first time i remember seeing this was in my 2013 Accord.My 2022 Tacoma didn't have it.

Yeah - these are not new, but Toyota is conservative and just gives us this one tiny light.

Some cars have ambient lighting all over the place, which can be a bit much, but I hardly even notice this one.

Last vehicle didn't have it. I've grown used to it, but there are times when it would be nice to be able to turn it off.
