Default Hood light bulb?
Anyone know what type of bulb that is? My c5 never had one when purchased. Tested the leads, it's got power. Thinking of putting a bulb in there, or just leaving it as is? Any thoughts guys?

It will be a lot brighter if you install a bulb.

The 1997s take a 212-2 Festoon and the 1998 - 2004s use a Type 561 rigid loop bulb.
