Orange light on pciex16_2 slot. Asus z370-p mobo

Recently bought a new PC. After the first day I noticed a bright orange light on the motherboard coming from the end of the PCIEX16_2 slot. I don't think it was there before, but am not 100% sure. Is this regular? or indication of a problem?

I checked the user manual for the board, but couldn't find any reference to the light.

It does not indicate a problem, it's just for aesthetics. It is shown right on the motherboards product page near the bottom;

Thank you very much for this information! I thought i'd searched everywhere for some reference to it!
