Hey Shawn,

The light for the controls is in the DASH above the gauges. If you run your hand along the dash pad you'll feel it

It is a special bulb with a magnifier tip on it to focus the light onto the console for the heater/aircondition controls. When you remove the center gauge cluster be very careful when removing the bezel.. Every one I've seen has a sharpe edges and will cut or tear the vinyl. Use a small screw driver to help lower the cluster to clear the sharpe edges.

I believe the light number is listed on the L81VetteRegistry in the tech section under bulbs

HI, I have this same problem but can not feel the light above the dash pad, is there any difference between the 79 and 81? Or am i doin something wrong? THANKS
