Odd interior light question + more
What the hell is that light under the air vents for? It emits a very dim yellow light.
Also, I need the bulb part numbers for it and the following:
I'm going to be replacing all of these lights with proper non-ricr LEDs. Thanks in advance.
Also, I need the bulb part numbers for it and the following:
- console bulb(s) (more than 1?)
- side markers
- small side bulbs in tail light assy
- hood
- 4th gen rearview mirror
- inside instrument cluster?
- under dash lights (and where they are?)
- wierd light under the top portion of the dash vents (*pic above)
I'm going to be replacing all of these lights with proper non-ricr LEDs. Thanks in advance.

No one knows what that light is for. I'm surprised yours works, mine doesn't do anything.

Looking at some of my wiring diagrams it looks like it's commonly referred to as a map light.

Re: Odd interior light question + more
lol. . . I remembered reading these threads while scrounging around Pick-N-Pull for for a replacement door from attempted theft damage. I had wondered what the gaping hole was underneath my dash was (someone had removed the entire unit) and came across a gutted 91-92 RS while at the yard. Found the mount on the dash then traced through the remains of the wiring harness and found the light intact. Got home, put it all in and whaddya know, it stilled worked. But, like many others, its pretty dim.
So, how do you change the bulb out or clean it??? Seemed like a self-contained unit to me.
Seems like there's a difference in the mounts- pre-90 bolts into place, 90 and up snaps into place.
