Hidden Lights ????

Believe it or not I've owned my 128 convertible about 2 years now and I just found what appears to be lights behind the sun-visors built into the front roof panel.
Anyone tell what they are actually and how they work if in fact they are lights.

Are you referring to the vanity lights built into the sun visors? When you slide the mirror door, the light comes on - so you can use a cordless shaver while driving!

These are not the ones actually in the visor I understand how they work by sliding the little door. The ones I'm talking about are mounted in the actual body panel above the windshield.
