1967 442 Ash Tray light question

Kind a simple mabey dumb question.
The housing assembly that the light bulb is inserted into seems to be all metal. How is it that any light can shine into the ash tray?

It's the Blue lens that was messing with me. I looked like it was plugging the hole. Why the blue lens?
