    Pretty sure it's just a ring of lighting...
    Mine has it. My mums subaru has it...
    Pretty sure its exactly what it seems....Red lights
    If it's not causing any problems, don't worry about it.
    Also, puts some pics up so we know what you mean.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers

    Are you sure it's not just to illuminate the key hole?

    See this from workshop manual:

    Having just replaced my ign barrel yes it is just a light for finding the thing in the dark.

    there is a small globe in the casing around the key barrel. replaceable.

    From memory i think you can access the wiring for it by just removing the plastic shroud around the steering/lock.

    check out this tutorial and you will see a photo of the red ring around the barrel and instructions from a legend as to how to get to it

    Use an LED for replacement

    I suggest that you use an LED bulb to replace it, so you should only have to fix it once....

    It is just illumination for the key hole. If you watch it when you lock the car it will go out at the same time the interior light goes out. It is red on my 2002 Disco, the bulb is replaceable.
