1993 Firebird Headlight Switch

[nascar24jd]

Can someone with a 93-97 Firebird check this for me. I am wondering if the headlight switch is supposed to illuminate like the way that the HVAC controls do. If so, then I have a burned out interior bulb. But I don't want to pull the dash apart if the switch is not supposed to light up to begin with.

Thanks...

yeah i'm pretty sure it is sposed to be like an orange glow when your lights are on.

Thanks. Just like the HVAC controls are. Can you check it for me? Is your battery connected?

If not, can someone check it for me.

I was looking on ebay this morniong for reference. They have pictures of the back side of the switch and I do not see and place for the light bulb to go. Is it built into the switch?

TKO - I need you to hook up your battery to see if the switch lights up. Is it Spring yet so you can get your car going? :)

Right about now most of my engine is located OUTSIDE of the engine bay.

Anyone with a 93-97 can help u out. I certainly would, but i'd be afraid of blowing something up right now if i connected the battery.

You shouldnt tease about spring....... winter in Buffalo lasts 6 months. :slap:

Thanks. I do know winter. I lived in NY for the first 32 years of my life. I feel your pain. Don't worry, spring is just around the corner.

Well, it lights up now!!!

The bulb was burned out and impossible to find in any store.

I went to the local U-Pull-It and bought a used headlight switch from a 1999 Trans-Am for $5.35.

Installed the entire switch (looked much newer then mine) and it now lights up like when it was new.
