Default Center Console Lights

At the very top of the center console there is a light but it takes a different twist in light socket than the rest of the center console. Are those available somewhere?

Also, the low fuel warning light has 3 contacts on the circuit board but the twist in socket that is in mine is just the regular 2 contact socket. Is there supposed to be a different light socket there as well?

Also, under my shift console there is a twist in style light socket on two wires but I cannot find any place to twist that into. Where does that one go? Is there supposed to be a light for the shift indicator? If so, I must be missing something because there isn't any place to install the light.

Thanks for all the help

The low fuel light has a circuit board with a socket. https://willcoxcorvette.com/catalogs...ear=&q=6432350
The shift indicator should have a light in it.
The center console light has a special bulb to shine on the heater controls. Not sure where you can get a socket.
