My '66 Barracuda doesn't have this part, does yours????

Mine is lighted also !!!!
wish my 68 fastback had one. I`m used to the new cars, everytime I get in the fish, I have to hunt the darn switch. thinking of putting an led on it or something. need to figure a way for it to come on when I open the door. thinking l could hook it up to the interior lights, but would go off when the door is shut.
any ideas out there ?
