Default Interior Lights

Hey I was just wondering if the shifter on an automatic where it says PRND321, the steering wheel radio controls and the switches for the locks and windows are suppose to be lighted like the rest of the interior. None of these are on mine, so I just wanted to see if it came that way or mine are all dead. It's a 1998 Firebird. Thanks.

I'm certain that mind light up. I'll double check when it gets dark. One of those things I never bothered to check until now. lol

Wow, I guess I'll have to figure out how to change them. They didn't change what lights up in the car from 98 to 00 did they?

I dont believe they did any changes on the interior lighting

Yeah, the light is above them, my bad.

No changes in the interior. I believe on the interior it stayed the same from 97-02 once they changed center consoles in 97. IIRC the steering wheel lights are fuses and I know someone on here replaced their lights, may have even done it with LEDs.

Edit: Here ya go- HELP-LED Circuit Board and HUmount-Mods
