Default Unknown Bulb in Cluster

I was going to replace the bulbs in my cluster with LEDs on my 98 Camaro. It looks like there are 7 backlights/lamps to replace, 2 for the turn signals, and then 1 unknown little guy up in the corner. What is this one for and what bulb is it? I can't read what's on the bulb, it's too faded out. I know the rest are 194s.

Being such a genius, I didn't think to shine a flash light through there. It's for the low coolant level. I updated the picture to show what each bulb is for. Still not sure what bulb is for the low coolant level though. I know the rest are 194s.

honestly you can just leave that one stock and you will be fine, when I changed my bulbs to leds I left the high beam and turn signal bulbs stock.

Yeah that's what I'm going to do, I ordered the rest, but will leave that one. I'm hoping I don't see it too often lol. I did order green LEDs for the turns and a blue for the high beams though.

Where did order your LEDs and is there a specific style of the 194 that has to be used for the cluster?

I ordered mine from superbrightLEDs website. I got 5 cool white, 2 green and 1 blue of the 194 LED Landscape Light Bulb - 5 SMD LED Tower - Miniature Wedge Retrofit - 95 Lumens The cool white gives the cluster a bit of a blue look to it. The greens are for the turn signals and the blue for the high beam indicator.
