Default Help with dash cluster lights

I have two lightassemblies left after my cluster installation I don't know where they go. Can someone give me some insight:
They both are hanging down near the ignition switch, the first is enclosed in a metal case with "press" on the side like it clips into something. The other is also in a small metal assembly with a screw hole in it.

Thanks for you help in advance,
Steve

Steve,
The light with the clip on it sounds like one that clips on the the ignition switch. At least that's the way it is on the 65. Not sure it's the same as your 63. I don't recognize the other one unless it's the torpedo that connects under the clock to light up the heater and radio *****. That has a couple small holes in it but not screw holes.

The one with "press" on it has legs that clip into two slots on the outside of the lighter retainer housing; the one with the tab and screw hole attaches to the lamp housing on the ignition switch.
