Default Dim Light on Sun-Visor

One of the two lights that are on the rear of the passenger-side sun visor has decided to glow dimmer than the one on the opposite side of the mirror. What is the remedy for this situation? Does the bulb need replacing and what's to keep this from happening again? My 2003 C-5 just turned 6,000 miles and is only two years old. This Vette is truly babied and sees more garage than outside.

Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.

John,

It sounds like the bulb is going bad. Regretfully we can't get the bulb from GM. I have been told by people who have disassembled the mirror they got the bulbs at a hobby shop, a Radio Shack or like store. We can only get the complete sunshade assy from GM and no component pieces. I wish I could be of more help but I'm in the same boat with the switch on one being bad and have not been able to match it anywhere.

Bob, Thanks for your reply. I finally figured out how to read the replies to my original message. I may have to seek out the assistance at a Radio Shack. That doesn't sound like a normal fix, but it also sounds like you've been through it.
