Ignition Switch Light

Ignition Switch Light
I noticed recently that the clear ring around the ignition switch isn't coming on any more. I'm guessing that the bulb is just burnt out or something. How do you get to the bulb to change it and what kind of bulb does it need. (I searched around and couldn't find any information on this)
thanks

I guess I'll have to make a trip to pull-a-part this weekend. I just thought to look around for the bulb and found it on rock auto for under $.50 so I'll probably just order it . Here's the link to the bulb if anyone needs it: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=2548156
If I get it working I'll do a write up on it because I'm guessing I'm not the only one with this problem.
as usual, thanks for the help hydra

Yea, there's a bulb in there you can replace. PITA to get to.
ARE YOU TRIPLE, TRIPLE, TRIPLE SURE that it ever lit up in the first place?
Just because it has an "illuminat-able" appearing halo is NOT the answer. I'll save more for later pending answer. Write ups already exist, including mine.

I took the column apart (which wasn't very difficult) and took the light bulb out. It wasn't burnt out but it did have black deposits inside it, as if it had been on before (I tested it and it still worked), so apparently I did remember correctly that it used to work. However, I put a meter on the socket and there was no power. Instead of trying to follow the wire deeper into the column I just ran a wire from the dome light in the footwell to it. It now lights up, still with the same bulb, green like it used to, with the interior lights.
Once again thanks for the help hydra and indy, you guys are the best

Usually on 99s+ the socket is there, the plug is there, hell... even the bulb is there. However, Dodge saved 2 cents per vehicle and didn't connect the wire harness to anything. Your's must have been a very early 99 build whereas 98s did, 99s+ didn't.
I wired mine to always on when the car is on. If I ever pull it apart, I'll connect to hot only when the lights are on. Wasn't thinking at the time, but it looks good nevertheless.
If you ever pull it all out, you need a security star set of bits. A reg bit won't work.

Anyway, thanks for the bulb number and everything. Do you have a link to the write up?
