81 corvette, missing or looking over the feed wire for the light in the top of the center gauge cluster. Also was there a cargo light on the back wall under the rear glass in 81?
Nice... guess im goin fishin, theres no connector that i can see. Might be buryed behind some of the heater stuff.
You're looking for two individual wires (one black and one grey I believe) with what looks like octagonal washers crimped on the ends. The wires screw on to the housing and the "washers" become the contacts for the twist-in bulb connector. The wires come from the passenger side.
When installed it's very easy for the bulb to catch on and damage the dash pad during removal/installation so be careful.
A couple other things. The purpose of that light is to make the non-back lit climate controls reasonably visible at night.
While the bulb looks pretty much like your standard 192 used for general background lighting, it is not. There is a little lens cast into the end. The trade number is 558 and you may have to order it on-line.
I havent had a chance to look at it again. Since getting it on the road some things are popping up that need to be looked at. Looks like it will be a little bit before I can get to it as I will be moving again, I just moved in the house im in 8 months ago.
Missing interior lights.
