Smile Celestron 8 SCT need help identyfying the parts

Hello. I have recently purchased a Celestron 8 SCT. On the finder scope eye piece there is a small chrome fitting with a red light in side. The eye piece has cross hairs in it. I assume that the light is supposed to light up the cross hairs at night. However, there are not any holes inside the eye piece to let the light through. Any idea what it is used for. Could the eye piece be a holder for that light used at night. It is 30mm long and 25mm dia. The light globe is about 6mm dia.
Thanks

Troppo
