Default Door handle light out. How to get to it?

The little red light that shows you where the door handle(at night) on the right side seems to out. What size light is this? and how do I get to it?

TIA

Not sure what size the bulb is, but you have t pry up the switch panel, take out the screw holding in the panel itself, and it comes right off. You can then take the bulb in to match it up.

Yeah it's a tiny bulb. You have to take the buttons off (they just pop out) and then use a phillips screwdriver to unscrew the black panel behind the handle, and pull it off.

You can buy the bulbs at any pontiac dealership for about $2.50 each. Not bad. The newer bulbs are brighter and look better so make sure you replace both.

It also may just be a loose connection. Mine went out not long after I painted those parts and reinstalled them.

Took 'em back off and twisted the bulb back into place and alls good. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
