Hello all . Does anyone have a pic of how the pass side courtesy light is attached. Mine is kinda melted and i cant figure out how it is attached. It is just hanging down now and it is bugging me.I have a different one from a donor wiring harness that i can splice on, just don't know where it goes.Thanks in advance for the replies.

Unfortunately, the AIM doesn't have very good images for the position of the under dash lighting (at least in our '77 AIM).

Edit: Donny, what year is your Vette? Our car takes bulbs with a twist-in base, and has a metal fixture. Would it be possible to heat that up slightly and bend it back into shape so it doesn't touch the bulb?

When did they change to the push-in style bulbs?

Sorry folks, i should have mentioned my car is an 80. KapsSA, looks like there is a metal bracket that the housing clips into, am i correct about that? I don't remember seeing that piece on mine. Bubba must have removed that along with all the other things that were missing.
