Simple Bulb question, dont know where to even begin looking!

I just need to know what bulb goes into the socket that lights up the shift gate pattern on the console shifter plate for the 1985-1992 Pontiac Firebirds. I've searched on sylvania's website, I've search on all the bulb replacement sites, and on here, and I cant get a 100% for sure answer. The bulbs LOOK like they will fit, but without measurements or a scaled picture, I cant be for sure.

I think its #74, am I right?

#194 same as license plate, idiot lights, underhood lights, HVAC panel, factory clock and radio and instrument cluster. Haynes isn't perfect but worth the $20.

Your thinking of a different bulb. Ill take a picture to show you.



Thought I gave a good discription, but hopefully the picture can discribe better. I need the small bulb on the left.

Haynes says #194 for "automatic transmission indicator" If it also fits as the idiot fasten seatbelt light it's gotta be tiny.

Crap. I know what you mean. It's underneath the center vent. Most third genners don't notice they have them, and when you have it working, you don't notice the light anyway. I drilled mine out. Now it casts LOTS of light. Super tiny bulb. I'll post what it is when I get home.

Damn. I threw away the package. It's too late to take out the bulb, but if you take it to Autozone, the clerk should know which bulb you want. Mine had it in stock. It was like, $3 for a two pack.
