I believe it's there to illuminate the ashtray when it's opened. If you look at the ashtray itself, there's a small cut-out in the plastic that the light shines through. It doesn't illuminate it much - just enough to see it in the dark.

Strangely, every Second Gen I've ever owned has had this bulb burned out, but never any others.

It takes a T5 bulb, I would recommend a white T5 smd led, lights it up really nicely, except if you remove the ash tray in the dark, it could blind you to look straight at it :D
