Does anyone have photos of where the underdash courtesy light brackets rivet in place?

I have both assembly and shop manuals, cant find any holes in these areas.

Car door is a 65 coupe.

Thanks!

If you are referring to the interior lights that illuminate when the doors are opened those brackets are held in place with screws not rivets, at least on my 64, I would think 65 would be the same.

Many are attached with a small hex sheet metal screw with an "L" logo on the head.
