Default Wierd Bulb

I've got a nice 79, L82 that I've had for about 13 years.

I was in the dash recently and found a bulb that I have no idea what it does and I can't find it on any of my wiring diagrams or manuals. It's in the center of the Insturment cluster at the very top between the vents actually pointing back at the vents.

Does anyone out there know what this is?

The wiper switch moved off the center console in 77.

That's the light for the HVAC controls. It requires a funky little bulb: http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=1.3969

BTW, if the little fin is installed properly it doesn't point at the vents - it points straight down at the console.
