It comes on sometimes when I go over a bump or I tap around it with my finger.

 

The red LED in front of the power mirror switch? It's an aftermarket alarm LED.

 

aftermarket alarm maybe ! i have a weird light too i'll post a pic !

 

That one is supposed to throw a little light on the HVAC controls. On the cars where it's actually wired up, it doesn't do enough to really matter. Many cars have the lense but no light bulb behind it. Both Camaro and Firebirds could have them.

 

thanks drew i thought about that just a few mins ago looking at the ac controls ! but i was like nawww lol thanks !
what kinda bulb goes in ? and where does it get its power ?
i know useless but i have to know ? thanks in advance !

 

I have this light in my 92 camaro its a stock light. It works and gets brighter and dimmer when you turn the light switch. I don't think its enough to notice but it works.

 

yeah i know i figure by the wiring ! my light works not well enough to notice but it does !

 

Some of them use a standard #194, and some of them are a sealed bulb/lense assembly like an LED. There might be some that use a #37 bulb. I've seen just as many cars without the bulb or the socket at all as I have ones that have it.

Edit: the one up above with the yellow lense is a sealed type. If you turn it 90* counter clockwise it'll unlock from the hole in the panel. Some late Firebirds have the same type light with a red lense under the panel with the rear defrost, trunk release, and fog light switches.
