The ash tray had a light - best to look and see if the glove box still has one too.

If it were for the ash tray it'd only be "hot" with the dash lights on I believe. Glove box light wire would be hot all the time and when the door is opened the bulb gets grounded by the switch . Also the 67-69 Camaro glove box light kits (NOS) have orange wire so my money is on a glove box light wire. Bulb/switch assem mounts in the hole behind the upper left corner of glove box door.

My 1971 has a small snap in light for the ash tray. If I remember right it is a little square plastic thing and the light came out of the end of the wire itself. Sorry kind of hard to explain. I will stop by my car today and see if it is orange and take a pic of it. Hopefully this will help you out

Sorry, I must have been thinking of some other car. There is an orange wire behind the ash tray but it doesn't go to light like I thought. It goes towards the center of the car. I'm guessing MLL67RSSS is right, It must go to the glove box. I thought for sure there was a light for the ash tray, but I haven't used that car for a long, long time.
