Lighted door locks on 86 IROC?????

I was at a car show Friday night and there was an 86 IROC there that had lighted door locks. So when you grabbed the door handle, the lock cylinder lit up in a little ring around the inside edge. The dude swore it was factory, but I have only seen it on Cadillac's, etc. Never seen it on a third gen. I was gonna go back and take a pic of it but he had left. Was this a factory option that I somehow had never seen before???

Man I didn't think so. I had never seen nor heard of it... The dude swore up and down they were factory. They must have been factory Cadillac or Buick or whatever that someone converted over to it

Or, a PO had put them on and when the guy bought the car he bought the story with it. Kind of like the factory 5-speed L98 that was in that 86 IROC as well.
