Yeah there is. Are you wanting to replace them with regular bulbs or LED's?

Yeah there suppose to light up but I have no idea what bulb size they are. Maybe they could tell you at the auto parts store or someone on here. Sorry I couldn't be much help but I haven't even messed with the ones on my car to know.

yes sir, they are a wedge style bulb and are much smaller than your basic 194 like in the side markers.

Might as well get leds while you're at it. Just make sure to get these ones, they are a bit cheaper on ebay:

I was trying to get the bulb out and I broke it! How do I get them out? How do I disconnect the wires to make it easier?

Nevermind, I figured both out. To remover the bulb you MUST remove the wiring connectors first. Use a bent bobby pen and go in through the front where the bulb is to compress the clip holding the wiring in place, then use a small screw driver from the other side to push the bulb out. Hope this helps someone in the future

Grabbing the bulb with needle nose and pulling it out is even easier.

I tried pulling out the HVAC panel from the front, but it won't pull out far enough for me to access anything. It seems as if there is a thick black cable on the lower right that does not seem long enough to let me pull it out. Any help would be appreciated!

There's no reason to pull out the whole panel, you should be able to pull it out enough to disconnect the bulbs. I just did this today in my Z, ordered a trans am hvac control module and used my ***** from the Z. Went with red led's #74




Also went with a TA cluster, got really lucky and found one with almost the same mileage as my stock, also did LED's




Crappy cell phone pics, looks way better in person and it's actually red not orange

I'll have to try again, but I couldn't even get it out far enough to get my hand behind it to disconnect anything.

Just a warning and some tips, make sure the temp control **** is either at the coldest or hottest setting that way it's easy to line up when you reinstall it. It has two clips that hold the temp assembly in place, the vacuum line harness also has two tabs, one on the top right and one on the bottom left, gotta be real gentle and careful with that one. The other connections are fairly easy, good luck.
