Default '01 WS6 T/A, small red lights on door handles?

One of the small red lights is out on the pass. side. Is this a LED? Could it have fallen out of place? How do I replace it?

Just pull the bulb out and go down to autozone or kragen and replace it. Thats what I did... The bulb itself pulls out of the socket.

I AGREE!! That thing is a PITA...

This LED mod is CAKE. If you need the LED's or the resistors to do this or even any questions PLEASE feel free to let me know.

The LED's are great because they are the exact size of the existing bulb, and once in looks just like it as well. I went with RED for my T/A since the bezel already has a red lense. The Camaros are white so you could go with any color that you wanted I believe.

Well if you have a Camaro then you are all set to go. If you have a Trans Am then you will need to CAREFULLLY remove that lense which from what I understand is very touch and go and can be detrimental to the panel.
