Default Map Light in 76

My 76 had no map light harness in it when I got the car, so I have bought one http://willcoxcorvette.com/product_i...ducts_id=26052 and also the clear lens. I have the whole thing apart, but I cant see how it all works. does anyone have a photo that may help. I cant see how the harness wire gets in to the mirror housing, and I cant see how a bulb would attach either?

Any advice please?

I had mine apart about 3 years ago and put in a new mirror glass. My harness wire was missing so I soldered a wire in there and ran it down the A pillar to the fuse box. I can't remember exactly what the inside of the light looks like. If you like maybe I will try to get it apart and hopefully not break it for more pics.

Thank you for your kind offer, but I can already see what is missing, I have the lens but not the switch looking housing under it. That explains it. Thanks again
