The bulb is just a clear bulb. If you would like a pic, I can email it to you.

Well ****, what makes it light up green? The icons on the panel look white.

My 1997 doesn't light up. The 2000 does. Maybe I've got a burned out bulb in the '97. Neither one has fog lights.

My 96 has the old style push/pull switch. I don't remember those being backlit. I think it's just the 2000 (?) and newer 2nd gens with the **** you turn.

My 1997 has the push/pull switch so it might be the same as yours and not lit.

Mine is burned out also...the manual calls for a #158 bulb but the "picture" doesn't show one!

I've got the dash out on mine so I'll replace it in the morn.

My 99 lit up but the 01 didnt when I bought it so I know it is supposed to I took the switch out when I first bought it looking for a bulb to replace and I couldnt find one I think it is sealed inside the switch so if you want it to light up I think you are going to have to replace the whole switch.

I'm wondering about the newer switches. Once I had a Plymouth Acclaim that listed a bulb # for the heater switch that was out. I tore the switch apart and had a hard time getting everything to work right after that and still couldn't get to the bulb. It might not be replaceable.

You're switch sounds like someone I work with.
