My Wife's Buick Enclave has the neat little amber bulb directly over the shift and cup holder area of the center console. It's just a tiny little hole on the overhead console the size of a pencil eraser, maybe smaller. Out of it comes a dim amber light that you hardly notice is there, but it is really nice when reaching for the phone or a drink or whatever. It's on all the time and dims with the dash lights.
I have the Express CC with only a single dome light kind of far back. I want to poke a hole in the headliner and install some 1 or 2 LEDs that shine straight down like the Enclave that is always on at night. It is very directional and you wouldn't know it's there unless you move your hand under it.

In this picture it is the square hole in the overhead console

Here is what it looks like on the console. Keep in mind it is hard to take a picture in the dark.

My 2011 CC has a light like that. I have heard a lot of people say it is stupid or disliked it, but I like that little bit of light.

So you have the overhead console? What color is the light? Maybe I can get an oem one and find a way to secure it?
