Default bulb above headlight switch?

Does anyone else have a small clear bulb above the headlight/dimmer switch on the left side of the dash? It's a 99 trans am. I noticed it the other day when I was replacing the red illumination bulb for the window controls on the doors.

Ill post a pic in a sec.

That's an aftermarket add-on - probably for a security system or shift light.
