Default Turn off/disconnect certain ambient lights...

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone would know a way to turn off or disconnect only a specific ambient light. Was thinking of the right one on the cupholder, pretty bright at night, get a glare off of it at times.

Thanks in advance!

I believe you can adjust the brightness of the ambient light in the settings. Tone it down a little, that may help with the glare.

Umm, could you explain a bit further, if it looked that straightforward, I would have tried first. What trim piece am I pulling off?

I'm pretty sure the ambient lighting in the cup holder is an LED strip and just can't simply be "pulled"
