lights?

Do 96 2.5 TL's have a seatbelt light in the cluster when the seatbelt is not on?
And is there a light for the gearbox thing under the d4,d3 etc... ?
I've never gotten a clear enough picture to see if there actually is a light.

There is a seatbelt light for when the seatbelt isn't on, a little red one, if you really want, I can take a picture of it. 97 2.5 TL

There is a light under the gear selector that lights them up, I thought I was going to have to replace mine, but just wiggled it around a bit and it has been fine since then. Just slide a thin knife/razor under the black trim around the shifter (not the gray/chrome) and it will pop up. It is sort of notchy when it does, but you will see the light under the selector.

The D4 light on the instrument cluster is actually quite easy to replace, I've done it, just a few dollars for the light and probably less than an hour to do.

alternatively, just replace your D1 light with the D4 light.. i rarely go into first gear...

thanks guys, I don't know if the seatbelt light was in the 96 model though. I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I replace my vents with the new ones I bought today.
