@Ann K's directions were perfectly adequate, and I agree with her conclusions, even from the rendering of the video that I saw. And the reason I'm not posting a screenshot of that is because for some unknown the reason (well, probably a shitty codec) the video played at completely the wrong aspect ratio and resolution, so half the window was repeated lines, and the other half of the window was a stretched version of the actual video. The light below - where in frame I cannot tell you as the video's mangled - moved in sync with the light above - ditto. That's what a reflection would do. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but you might have more luck just viewing it yourself.

The reflection can be seem from 0:39 to 0:50 in the first video in the OP. It moves from right to left, across the roof of the car, then back to the right again.
It's in the red box in the image below.
Although I don't think the light in this video is add with CG, the reflection in the roof of the car isn't really evidence of it not being that. Whenever I've manipulated a photo (or game screenshot) to add something to an image, reflections, even faint ones, are something that were high on my list of things to add/adjust, as they help improved the believability of the final result, even the subtle ones. As for the work involved, I'd say it wouldn't be a lot more to add the reflection.
