Cigarette lighter - list is white?

[soxfan1966]

I had been using my cigarette lighter to power my radar detector / gps / phone charger (using a multi-outlet adapter). Finally got sick of having to plug / unplug it all the time so wired the adapter in using the phone wire.

I had noticed during this time the light around the outlet was brighter and white than the other buttons/dials, thought it was because the lighter was not plugged in the outlet.

Now that I do not need the outlet and put the plug back I find the white light around the outlet a little distracting and annoying (given everything else is amber).

Is this light supposed to be white, or am I missing something or have the wrong bulb to make it amber?
