What's this bit....
Ok, so I parked facing uphill last night and all was fine with the world, set off to work this morning and turned to go down hill... turns out my front sunroof drains must be blocked as I had a nice drip of water doming in when I'm going downhill.... Will have to get the compressor out later and unblock the vents...
Anyway, having looked at where the water is dribbling in I noticed that there is a little LED in the black square on the interior light cluster....
It illuminates the area around the gear lever at night so you can find things without losing your night vision. If you turn the lights on you'll see it light up.1972 Range Rover Classic 2 door V8

I wouldn't recommend using a compressor to blow down the tubes, you may blow one of the connections further down. Net curtain wire works well. 👍🏻

As mentioned take care with compressed air there is an extensive thread on here of how to unblock sunroof drains. You will need a couple of hours spare to read the full content.D3 2.7 Zermatt silver (not another one)

Well that's clever! Only had the car a couple of months and haven't actually driven in the dark yet which would be why I never I hadn't realised what it did!
Cleared the drain pipes in my lunch break in the end with a flexible cable snake.... Cleared quickly. Poured a couple of litres into the tray and it cleared quite quickly... Bonus!
