Default Firebird HVAC and Headlight *****

What year did they change the HVAC control ***** so that the ***** themselves light up so you know what settings are selected at night. I have a '95 and mine don't light up, but my friend's 2002 Trans am hvac controls do light up.

Also does the headlight control **** light up on these later model trans ams with the newer hvac *****?

headlight **** and HVAC ***** light up. You might want to look at possibly burned out bulbs.

Nope there are two completely different parts, I examined the backside of the *****, the newer ones have translucent red indicators, the older ones are not designed to light up. Plus there are only two bulbs that light up the hvac controls, the same lights that illuminate the different settings illuminate the *****. These ***** do not have separate bulbs.

Well I know there interchangeable. Just find some 98+ to be on the safe side.

p.s.. I guess I worded my previous post wrong, didn't mean to sound like the ***** themselves had the bulbs in them
