Default Delay Wiper Switch

I just noticed that in the back of the delay wiper switch out of my '81 there is a hole with copper contacts on two sides; appears that a twist-in lite bulb is supposed to be......is this correct?

Also, is there a new overlay or sticker available for the front of the switch?

Yes there is a super small light bulb.

I am not aware of any overlay sticker.

Blast....I was hoping there was a new overlay / sticker available.

As far as the lite, it appears to be the same as the gauges, and the speedo/tach cluster....the 194 bulb in a plastic socket that goes in with a slight twist...although I have not tried one yet.

I used a regular dash bulb 194 in mine (79) works fine. I also got a new sticker for it, from whitegauges.net.

Thanks for the info on whitegauges.net....and they do have one, but of course it is white.

I had searched several of the Corvette suppliers and found nothing, but then did a search on ebay and lo and behold....found one....Big City Corvettes has one for $11. Have ordered one....its gotta look better than the one original one that is on there now. It is all cracked and lifting at the edges.

Thanks once again for the replies.
