Can't figure out light behind shifter
I recently picked up an '87 and I came across this bulb between the shifter console and the parking brake. I'm assuming it's missing a cover but for the life of me can't figure out what this is for. I checked the manual and didn't find anything about this. Does anyone know what this is for and where I might find a replacement cover for it?

 It’s the defrost on/off light when you lift the heat lever.

The cover has fallen off and is likely under the seat or somewhere on the floor. When working properly (prolly need a new bulb) it lights up when you pull the heater levers up to activate the fan back on top of the motor. If you need one, I believe I've seen the cover in the Pelican catalog.

It's nice to see an '87 with sport seats. Good score. Tell us more about the car

Interesting. My 1973 has this light as well. It turns on when you turn on the parking lights/headlamps. Wonder when they make the change.
