The ashtray light is in the little bracket that sits above and holds the ashtray. I can't remember if it's a mini-halogen or a wedge bulb. I would probably say mini-halogen. Your best bet would be to pick up some little mini halogen like bulbs from Radio Shack, the dealer wants too much for the mini-halogens.

Thanks I will check it out this weekend when I get done with the Vette! Radio shack right down the street, and youn are right the dealers want way too much for parts, the inside marker lens on the doors they want like 12$ hell the junk yard wanted a buck a piece. Just as bad as the chevy dealer, when I want parts for the vette, it's like having a sign over my head that say (Please Rob Me)

Yeah, those bulbs on the door are 194's. You can get those for a few bucks at any auto parts store.

The ashtray light is a mini wedge bulb. The ones that look like a 194 but smaller. The heater and the two outermost instrument panel lights are also the same ( on analogue dashes ). The rest of the instrument panel, the shifter on auto's, and as Sarin pointed out - the courtesy lights, are all 194's.
