Default Cigarette Lighter Courtesy Light--When On?

I think this belongs in tech...'69 427/435 4 speed roadster, mostly original/stock, no air cond.

I have my central shift/ash tray etc. assembly out and I am cleaning it all up. I actually didn't know there was a light in the lighter. When does this illuminate? Only when the lights are on, or all the time, or alternatively, only when you pull out the lighter?

I'm going to replace the bulb as long as I have it all out.

I want to test it before I put all the screws and ***** back on and need to know when it is supposed to be on.

Thanks.

Mine lights up when the parking lights are turned on and stays lit whether the lighter is in the socket or not.
