Three vents above SOS button and Pass airbag off light

What do the three vents above/behind the SOS button and the Pass airbag off light do? Almost look like lights behind them. Didn't know what they do to put this in the proper area so figured I would just post in the general, mods feel free to move.

Thanks!

Nope, my first thought too. Microphones are very small vents above the drivers sun visor on the left side.

Passenger microphone is my guess. My car with enchanted BT says it has passenger microphone on some sheet I got with the car or the window sticker I think. I do know passengers are heard just as clearly during a phone call. In my wife's Mazda I have to yell to be heard since hers only has a mic on the driver side

Total guess here. I thought it might have something to due with the climate control, thermostat sensor etc.

Huh...I don't think I have those on my car. (Of course, the wife keeps telling me I can't see what's right in front of me! )

My guess is part of the security system. My old E46 had a similar thing behind the sunroof that detected if someone put their hand in the car if its locked with the window down or shattered.
