It is illuminated if the car has the column shift. The lamp socket is directly below the center of the cluster. In standard shift cars or those with PB shift the hole was empty and I don't remember what the filler insert looked like other than it was opaque so you could not see the empty socket hole. If the car had the optional emergency brake indicator available for models without the column shift the insert was changed to one normally appearing as a dark blocked off area. When the emergency brake handle was pulled out more than a notch or two it illuminated red with the word B R A K E spelled out. For models with column shift the brake indicator light was placed in a small bracket hanging below the dash edge near the brake handle.

Does anybody know if the Twin Ultramatic gear indicator is supposed to be illuminated? I'm getting a bit tired of carrying a torch so I can see it at night. I'm guessing it should be lit, since the fresh air/heater controls have their very own light.
