Is there a bulb? I think it is integrated into the switch assembly

There's a bulb there... an extremely small one... it's a #74 I believe... a lot of people replace it with an LED bulb made for the socket so they never have to worry about it again... go here and search for "74" in the search field located at the top... the bulb you're looking for should be the last result on the page after you search...

Hey the window switches themselves dont light up on the 4th gen f-bodies. The only ones that light up are the ones on the corvette. Anyways the bulb is a 194 and that shines light on the door handle, door lock, and switchs. Auto stores now carry Superbright LEDs so get the 194A and those should go right in. Hope this answered your question.

yes, what coaster kev said.

I just went to an autozone and they matched it up for me.. I guess i probably should have gone with LED. Pick your color! Sweet!

I'm 99.9% positive it's not a 194..that's way to big. I think coasterkev was right with the #74, but just to be safe you might want to check it out..take the doorpanel off and its in a base ontop..easy just turn it and pull it out.

Re: Door handle light?

when i had my old car i went to autozone and got those red led lights. the ones you drill a wide enough hole and slide them in. they looked really nice. there was a really nice red glare on all the switches. i also did it to my shifter. in an automatic there is a piece that runs down the shifter to show what gear you're in. they usual have orange/red paint on them to show which gear. my paint wore off and i drilled a hole in it, cut away some of the plastic and wired it up to the white light that lights the hole plate up. everytime i shifted a red light would glow (bright) and tell me which gear i was in. it was pretty sweet. but hard to do
