What exactly is this part? Never noticed it before....
 

Hi all!

While driving my wife's 2010 honda civic I noticed a small black half dollar sized light to the left of the steering wheel on the lower portion of the dash. The light was not on, and appeared to have two small light bulbs in in. There is a circular black button in the middle of the part in question. However, the lights don't turn on and hitting the button does nothing. Maybe its just paranoia getting the best of me, but I could have swore this little light (or sensor) wasnt there previous. Maybe the dealorship added it while the vehicle was in for maintainance???


Anyway here are some photos of the part in question. Any help is appreciated!!!

that picture is too small for me to make it out at all. I dont know if anyone else is seeing this. id try and post a bigger picture if possible

I couldn't get the photos to display any larger, either.

Very tiny, but it doesn't look OEM... I've never seen one there before.
