On the inside of the door, above the door lock and window controls is a small hole with a rim around it, facing down, about the width of a nickel. Any idea what it is for? It seems that it may just be access to a screw.

Thats a red light to illuminate the mirror controls.

Yup, I think it is a red led. At first, I thought it was for screw access, but it is absolutly a light of some type.

I never noticed it til now

I'll have to check that out. It's on both doors and the mirror controls are only on the driver's door.

Yes, but the passenger's door still has window controls which are illuminated from above by that light. It's easy enough to confirm at night time - simply place your hand on the door dontrols and you'll see it's lit from above... move you hand upwards and you can easily trace where that light is coming from. Surprise! It comes from the small hole above. :)

Right, you are. I thought the buttons illuminated from within until I ran my hand under the light. Pretty cool, but I hope the bulbs don't burn out often.

Never noticed that, but now that we know it's a light bulb, we can make those buttons illuminate any color we want just by changing the bulb then.
