F10 Navigation frame replacement with LCI

Hello guys,

I might need some help here.
I wanted to replace the original navigation frame with the LCI one.
My issue now is that the original one has the light sensor (I assume is the light sensor), but the LCI frame doesn't have it (the hole for the sensor and the screw holes on the interior side are missing).
Any advice what can be done? (Images are attached)

Thank you

Why can't you just drill a hole and put the sensor/LED on the new one? I'm sure it doesn't need to be in that exact spot.

Hey Teddy,
Actually I have already mounted the frame and I simply removed the light sensor. I haven't seen any errors or differences in the functionality, so I really don't know if there is a need for it.
