HELP! TLX Type S rear interior light won’t turn off

I’ve only had a car for a few days but I noticed that the rear interior light the little small light stays on the whole time while driving. It shuts off when the car is off but stays on while driving is that normal? There are the other two side lights in that same light assembly that turn on when you press the button or when you control it from the front dome light but there’s a little tiny light in the center of that that stays on the whole time all driving. Is this normal?

Probably is normal I know on my 16 TLX I have a small vibrant blue light towards the front center that gently illuminates the center console at night but I think it’s also on during the day and doesn’t turn off until I turn the car off

I turned mine off on my 2021 TLX/ASPEC, after realizing it after 2 days
Should be a rocker switch, near the back lights
If not, go to the Acura dealer; it's NOT normal

If it's the little one in the center, yes it's ambient lighting to cast a nice glow on the rear passengers at night. Footwells and front lights should have the same.
