After six years of driving without this light I finally popped off the
selecter panel to expose the two burned out bulbs that should illuminate the
PRNDL. The bulbs are available at your Flaps and push into the sockets with

Pry up the cover at the corners ; it pops out with the "corrugated" selector
strip attached.

The lights make it so much easier when parallel parking and maneuvering at
