Default Q7 cup holders not illuminated?

Hi guys, My cup holders in the center console do not seem to be illuminated. My Q7 has the ambient lighting package and everything other than the cup holders seems to illuminate in my color preference. The 'smaller' Audis (A4 etc) seem to have this feature. Am I missing a setting in the MMI?
Thanks.

With the interior lit up like a disco, I think they had to draw the line somewhere.LOL!

Yeah, a disco is a good way to describe it, haha. I do think they should have put at least a small half circle led line in top portion of each cup though. With all the areas in the cabin illuminated combined with the all black in and around the cup holders, the holders can literally disappear to the eyes on darker streets and freeways when they are empty. That said, never difficult to semi blindly slip a bottle in though, so not a big deal.

Lighting them would just draw more attention to how small they are

I've test driven the Q7 so many times lately and for whatever reason, my pockets are not illuminated. Not sure what to do...

door pockets or cup holders? Door pockets are illuminated with 'motion sensor'.
Yes the cup holders are too small - but it's a German car - they don't eat or drink in their cars (barely use the a/c - not green windows open is green LOL
