I think theyre just to add a little ambient light in the cabin at night. I have them in my map pockets in the doors also.

Ambient lighting, As i drive in the dark alot of the time I love the way I don't need to hit the spots to find things, every car should have this sort of interior glow

The lights add that extra touch and are useful to find stuff in the cubby holes...near the shifter.
BTW- all have the overhead ambient lighting, but only cars equipped with the Prem Pkg have leds in the doors.
