Since I don't see it in the pic I'd guess it's the one for the side of the cigarette lighter but missing the clip part that holds it on...

There should be two lights, both the same bulb and both on a grey wire. One plugs into a hole in the bottom side of your HVAC controls, and the other clips onto the cigarette lighter assembly (see Mooser's pic).

Found the “2 gray wire light” that seems to be located as mentioned...pic of shifter plate shows it does not have the light “holder clip”

I'm fairly sure the single wire bulb with that holder is the lighter one. The clip is available through the vette suppliers (cig lighter lamp shield or something like that) or put a wanted in the used section, they used them up to 76 or something, someone has one I'm sure
