Am I the only one confused as to where there is a light in or on the shift knob? Perhaps I am a bit dense this morning but would you please explain this a little better for me?

Well if this is an Automatic and they are referring to the light under the indicator that shows which gear you are in. Mine is out also

Having done this job I can tell you it not a big deal. You are going to have to twist - remove - reinsert and twist the socket by feel because you can't really see the opening for it (it is on the under side of the housing it sits in). I worried that it was going to be more difficult than it turned out to be.

You should be able to get the bulbs at any auto parts store.

Good luck.

The replacement bulb is #74 from NAPA...it cost around $1.50.

Or if you never want to do it again buy a Led light bulb and stick in there!
